Using the email builder

Build emails by dragging in blocks — text, images, buttons, dividers — and preview exactly how they'll look before you send.

AuthorSend's email builder is a drag-and-drop canvas. You add content by dropping in blocks and editing them in place — no HTML required, though the result is clean, email-safe HTML under the hood.

Work with blocks

Build your email out of blocks:

  • Text — rich text with headings, links, colors, and formatting.
  • Image — pulled from your Media library or uploaded on the spot.
  • Button — a call to action linking to your book, site, or landing page.
  • Divider and spacer — for rhythm and breathing room.
  • Signature — your reusable email signature.

Drag to reorder, click to edit, and adjust spacing and padding with the friendly steppers rather than guessing at pixel values.

Preview before you send
