Email headers
An email header is the branded strip at the top of an email. It carries your logo, your brand colors and any links you want above the message, so a recipient can tell who the email is from before reading a word. Your saved headers are under Email > Headers.
The headers list
Every header in the project is listed here with its name and the date it was created. Each row carries Edit and Delete.
Creating a header
The create dialog
The dialog has one field, the header name. It is internal and recipients never see it, so use a name you will recognise in the list.
The header editor
The header editor is the same visual builder you use for an email, with the same email-safe blocks. Add an image block for your logo, text blocks for links and set the background from your brand colors. The layout is compiled to responsive HTML the same way an email is.
Build a header once and reuse it
A header is built once and attached to as many emails as you like. Change it later and every email that uses it changes with it.
Header settings
Renaming a header
Rename a header here at any time. The name is internal, so changing it does not affect any email that uses the header.
Attaching a header to an email
The Design tab
The Design tab sets both ends of the email at once. The Header dropdown picks the strip above the body and the Footer dropdown picks the block below it.

Email clients strip out custom CSS. Giant Context compiles your header along with the email so it renders consistently, and simple layouts survive best. Use Preview in the toolbar to check before you send.
Open the email, click Settings, go to the Design tab and pick None from the Header dropdown.
Every email that has it attached picks up the change. You do not reopen those emails.
