Email Builder

With Unlayer’s email builder, your users don't have to spend hours in a designer's office creating emails. They can just drag and drop! Once the email is designed, your users can use your application to send it to their audiences.

Our email builder gives you full control over the email design. It lets you customize every aspect of the email, from the layout to the content and images. Your users can use images, merge tags, and other elements to customize their email. They can also preview the email before sending, and export the HTML code for further editing.

You can explore our full template library.

Why Use Email Builders?

With a drag-n-drop email builder, users can create and select multiple email templates, change the content, include pictures, and link to files. Furthermore, they can name the template and change its structure and styling. Once your users select a template, they can customize the content by editing it in the editor. Rich template selection in email builders allows customizing the email to suit the audience and branding.

Our email builder also improves deliverability and ensures that the email looks great in all email clients, especially older ones such as Outlook.

Integration

After installing our JavaScript library, use the following code snippet to initiate the email editor. You have to pass displayMode as email, and replace your project id.

unlayer.init({
  id: 'editor-container',
  displayMode: 'email',
  projectId: 1234 // REPLACE
})
