Choosing The Right Email Template

Every email you send from Transpond starts with a template. Whether you're sending a beautifully designed newsletter, a simple update, or using an email you've already created elsewhere, Transpond provides several ways to create your template.

Choosing the right template type can save time and make editing your emails much easier later.

This article explains each template option and when you might want to use it.

Before you begin

To create a new template:

1. Go to Campaigns > Templates.
2. Click Add a Template.

You'll then be asked how you'd like to create your template.

Drag & Drop Editor

Best for: Most customers.

The Drag & Drop Editor is the easiest way to create professional email templates without writing code. Simply drag content blocks into your email, customise your branding, and see your changes instantly.

Choose this option if you're creating newsletters, promotions, announcements or any marketing email.

Plain Text

Best for: Personal, text-focused emails.

Plain Text templates use a simple editor to create emails that feel more like a message written in your inbox than a designed marketing campaign.

You can still personalise emails with merge tags and include links and images, while keeping the overall design clean and professional.

Choose this option when you want your emails to feel more personal or conversational.

HTML

Best for: Developers and custom email designs.

If you've already created an email template in HTML or want complete control over your email's code, you can create your template using the HTML editor.

Choose this option if you're comfortable working with HTML or already have an existing template.

Import an Existing Template

Best for: Reusing templates you've already created.

If you've already designed an email elsewhere, you don't need to recreate it from scratch.

You can upload an HTML template, copy a template from another Transpond account, or import a webpage to use as the basis of your email.
