Emails
An email is a message you build once and send to your contacts. You create and edit every email under Email > All Emails. When the design is finished, Mind picks the recipients from your CRM records and you approve the send.
The emails list
The list under Email > All Emails shows every email in the project with its internal name, its subject and its dates. Open one to edit it, or create a new one from here.
Creating an email
The email editor
Email clients render HTML far more narrowly than browsers do. The editor gives you a set of email-safe blocks rather than the full website palette, so a layout that looks right on the canvas also holds together in an inbox.
One editor for emails, headers and footers
Drag a block onto the canvas from the Add Block panel. Select a block and its settings open under Edit Block. Headers and footers are built in the same editor as the email itself.
The toolbar
Settings for whatever you have open
Every editor in the Email app has a settings dialog on its toolbar. For an email it holds the subject and the header and footer choice. For a header or a footer it holds the name, the content id and the created and updated timestamps.
Email-safe blocks
Four blocks are available in the email editor. Select one on the canvas and its settings panel opens beside it.
The same blocks in headers and footers
Email headers and email footers use the same four blocks and the same editor. Build one, give it a name, and it is available to every email in the project.
From an email to a send
Design tips
Common questions
Common questions
Older desktop clients such as Outlook use restrictive rendering engines that drop modern CSS. The email-safe block set and the compiled output account for that. Use Preview in the toolbar to check the compiled result before you send.
Switch to the mobile view in the toolbar before you send. If a layout breaks, check your image widths. An image forced to a fixed width wider than a phone screen stretches the layout.
Check your spam folder first. Then check the sender address in the Email app settings. If both look right, wait a few minutes, because delivery times vary by provider.
