Email Template WYSIWYG Editor

Our new WYSIWYG email template editor helps you create and maintain professional HTML emails that are fully compatible with all major email clients.

By adding a simple WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, we’ve made it much easier to create professional email templates. The editor uses settings and styles that are tested on a wide range of email clients, ensuring that your emails look great on all devices.

When you go to Messages » Templates and create an email template, the HTML Body field now presents you with the option to use the WYSIWYG Editor. Use drag-and-drop design elements to create a message layout and add content. Click the elements to style them and even add merge fieldsA variable in your message or template that you want to populate with a personalized value for each member of the audience. Merge fields use Handlebars syntax — {{merge_field}}. where necessary.

You can use your templates when you send an email using the Upload Users Audience option in the Airship UI, or by specifying the template_id when you use the /create-and-send API. When you use a template in the Airship UI, you can preview your HTML email on different clients.
