How To Use The Drag And Drop Editor

SendX features a fast and easy-to-use editor for emails, which turns the whole email editing process into a mere drag and drop process. You can drag and drop one of the many boxes (or placeholders) in your email body and quickly start editing your emails on the fly.

Make sure the default email editor is set to Drag & Drop Editor. 

  • Create a new campaign (newsletter or drip) or edit an already existing one. 

  • Go to the Content tab which allows you to view and edit emails. You will see the drag and drop editor with the placeholders and different tabs on the right, and the editable email body on the left. 

  • Simply drag a box from the right into the body on the left. Click on the box after dragging it in, to edit it and customize the content. Clicking on it will also reveal the properties on the right which allow you to customize the look of your content. Feel free to drag and drop the boxes around within the body to fit your needs. 

The Drag and Drop Editor consists of 3 tabs:

  1. The Content Tab

  2. The Structure Tab

  3. The Body Tab

The Content Tab
The content tab basically consists of the micro content placeholders. You can directly drag and drop them into the body and edit them to create the actual content of the email. 

 

  • Text box simply makes a place in your email for you to input whatever text you want to put into your email. 

  • Image box makes space to allow you to add your images within the email.

  • Button box allows you to add your own buttons in the email. You can associate a URL with this button and then use this button as a CTA in your email. 

  • Divider is simply a piece of line to divide the email. You can adjust the thickness, colour etc and make it look native to your email. 

  • Social box allows you to add social media links to your email. This increases trust with the customers and will also help get more eyeballs on your social media. 

  • HTML box allows you to add hyperlinks to your email. Use this to add a link to a certain page you want to send the user to through your email. 

  • Video so you can add videos from Youtube or Vimeo.
  • Icons Choose from a library and edit simple icons and apply effects.
  • GIFs and Stickers search for an add a gif or sticker with Giphy.

The Rows Tab
The Rows Tab allows you to customize the basic layout of your email. Simply drag and drop your preferred layout style, and then add content boxes from the Content tab into it.

The Setting Tab
The Setting Tab allows you to customize the whole body of the email. It is within this tab, where you can change the Content area width, Background color, Content area background color, Default font and Link color

  • Click Preview or Save Drip when you're done to save your newly created drag and drop an edited email! 

And that's it! Using the drag-and-drop editor in SendX makes the whole email writing process a breeze.
