Templates

An editor for mailings in GetCourse is a builder (constructor). It works similarly with a tool used for pages creation. Titles, images, text blocks, buttons, columns - all of that look like blocks which you use to compose a letter. 

When creating a new mailing you can choose the editor’s version.
By default, a new letter is created in the old builder. To create a letter in the new one, choose “Templates” in “Mailing text edition” line.

There are already prepared templates. You can choose a template with one or two columns or a template for a letter of “Orders” type with prepared variables.
You can choose other template after creation of a letter.

It is possible to create your own template. Go to “Letters” section - “Templates”. Create a new template.

In pop up window assign a name for a template. You also can choose color for background around main letter field or upload an image for the background.

Compose a letter, choose blocks in the way you want and save this layout as a template: press “Settings” in upper right corner (in edit mode) and choose “Is a template” checkbox.
When creating a new letter you can choose this template.

By the way any block (titles, text, images, buttons) you can save as a template, so you will be able to insert it to letters.
Open menu in upper right corner of the block and choose “Save as a template”.

You can add this block as a regular one - click on “plus” and choose this block.

It is pretty easy to perform. Just add new blocks (titles, text, images, buttons, columns with custom content). It is similar to a page builder.
You can customize any of blocks - choose background color, text color, text indents, etc.
There is an example of background color changing (it is white by default):

A little hint: put #ffffff to “Background color” field to make a background white.
Each block can be complemented by sub-blocks - text, images, buttons, that you can insert inside a main block.
Below there is an example of how to fill in main block with two columns.

You can create letters by users, orders and purchases. 
All needed variables will be pulled to the editor.

Don’t forget to save the letter when staying in edit mode.
