The Basics

Writing an Email

Click Compose in the sidebar to open the email editor.

1

Add recipients

Type the recipient's email address. You can send to a single person or paste multiple addresses separated by commas for a batch send.

2

Write a subject line

Keep it short and specific. Good subject lines are under 50 characters and tell the reader exactly what to expect.

3

Compose your message

Use the rich text editor to write your email. Format text, add links, embed images — everything you need is in the toolbar.

4

Send or schedule

Click Send Email to deliver now, or use the calendar icon to schedule for later.

The Rich Text Editor

The editor works like any word processor. Here's what you can do with the toolbar:

FormatHow
BoldToolbar button or Cmd+B
ItalicToolbar button or Cmd+I
HeadingsSelect from heading dropdown
LinksSelect text, click link icon, paste URL
ListsBullet or numbered list buttons
ImagesClick image icon, upload or paste URL
Good to Know

Everything you write is automatically converted to clean HTML that looks great across all email clients — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and more.

Using a Template

Don't want to start from scratch? Use a template:

1

Click the template dropdown

Located above the editor, it shows all your saved templates plus built-in starters.

2

Pick a template

Click to load it. The subject line and body are pre-filled for you.

3

Customize and send

Edit any part of the content to make it yours, then send as usual.

Adding Attachments

Click the attachment button below the editor to upload files. Supported formats include:

  • Images — PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP
  • Documents — PDF, DOCX, XLSX
  • Archives — ZIP
Heads Up

Keep attachments under 10MB total for best deliverability. Large files may be blocked by some email providers.

Scheduling Emails

Instead of sending immediately, schedule for the perfect time:

1

Click the calendar icon

Next to the send button, you'll see a clock/calendar icon.

2

Pick date and time

Choose when the email should be delivered.

3

Confirm

The email is queued and will be sent automatically. You can cancel from the History page any time before delivery.

Scheduling an email

Personalization

Make your emails feel personal by using merge tags. Type them anywhere in the subject or body:

TagReplaced WithExample
{{name}}Contact's nameSarah
{{email}}Contact's emailsarah@acme.com
{{company}}Contact's companyAcme Inc
Pro Tip

Personalized subject lines get 26% higher open rates on average. Try “Hey {{name}}, check this out” instead of generic subjects.

Tips

Best Practices

Keep it short

Emails under 200 words get the highest engagement. Get to the point quickly and use a clear call-to-action.

Write a great subject line

Your subject line is the first thing people see. Make it specific, create curiosity, or highlight a benefit. Avoid ALL CAPS and excessive punctuation.

Preview before sending

Always preview your email before hitting send. Check formatting, links, and merge tags to make sure everything looks right.

Send at the right time

Tuesday through Thursday mornings tend to get the best open rates. Check your Analytics to see when your specific audience is most active.
