Email elements are blocks that can be used to build an email or a template in the Drag-and-Drop editor. These blocks can contain an image, text, or both, and each has a particular layout (1 to 5 columns), as well as styles for mobile display (see Editing and Testing the Mobile Version of an Email).

By default, several structure and content blocks are available to meet most needs. However, if none of the provided elements meet your specific needs, we can help you with a more personalized option, upon request.

In this article, you will discover all the blocks that are available by default our Drag-and-Drop templates.
