- the campaign's internal subject line
- the campaign's customer-facing subject line
- your sender name
- your email address
- opt-in to boost the campaign (this feature will resend the campaign to only those customers who haven't opened within the first 48 hours of sending)
- set UTM tracking parameters
- set your audience settings
Editing the email's styles
1. While your new campaign is open, select the body block to adjust the width and the alignment of the email's content. Additionally, it allows you to update the default background color, font, and link styling options for content added to the template. Content already included or added to the template will not change.📝 Note: Images should not be larger than 600px wide.
Editing the email's layout

Edit the email's content
1. Add content to your email template by dragging and dropping content blocks from the sidebar menu into your email template.
