Modules

Modules are content blocks that have been prepared for use in the Email Builder, e.g., headers, footers, or other recurringly used combinations of email design elements. By combining modules, you can compose your emails more efficiently, and ensure that they are visually consistent across your mailings.

In the “Modules” area, there is a tree view on the left-hand side representing exactly the projects that have been created so far, and to which you have access. Your modules are always clearly assigned to a project.

Using the dropdown menus above the module list, you can have the modules filtered by their status, and ordered by the date they were edited, or alphabetically.

To edit a module, simply click the corresponding module tile in the overview. This opens the Email Builder for editing the module.

Every module tile has a “More” menu at the top right by means of which you can duplicate, rename, move, or delete the module concerned. As with emails, you can also create a website from a module.

Note that deleting a module doesn’t affect the emails it was used in. Email content originating from a module is not linked to the module, so this content is retained.

In terms of email composition, modules are saved “Section” elements. You can create a module either by saving a section of an email, or via the Home portal.

To add modules to an email, first find it in the “Projects” area, and open it in the Email Builder. Then switch to the “Structure” tab, and click “Add modules”.

You are then presented with the list of modules you can choose from. Now, simply select the desired ones, and confirm the action. The selected modules are then appended to the email content.

As with any other section, you can move a module within an email by copying the module, pasting it at the desired location, and then deleting the source.

To save a section of an email as a module,

1. open the email for editing,
2. find the section you wish to save,
3. select “save as a module” from the section’s menu at the top right.

You will then be asked to specify the name of the new module, as well as the folder it should be placed in. You can also create a folder via this dialog if needed.

To create a module from within the “Modules” area of the Home portal, select “Module” from the “Create new” menu at the top right.

After specifying the name of the new module, it is displayed as an empty tile in the overview. You can then click this tile to open and edit the module in the Email Builder.
