Email Builder

Email Builder

The Email Builder is an easy-to-use designer for stewardship and fundraising messages. Start from a template or a blank layout, add your story, and preview on desktop and mobile before you send.

What You Can Do

• Add text, images, buttons, columns, and dividers in a visual layout
• Apply your logo and brand colors automatically
• Insert personalized fields so each recipient sees their own name
• Save the design for reuse in scheduled or automated campaigns

Common Tasks

Build a thank-you email

1. Open Marketing → Email Campaigns and start a new campaign.
2. Open the Email Builder, pick the thank-you template, and edit copy.
3. Preview, test-send to yourself, then schedule or send to your list.

Good to Know

Email sends draw from your MintBucks balance on plans that include marketing credits. Large images slow mobile load times, so compress photos before uploading.

Save a draft before leaving the builder; you can return later without rebuilding the layout. Test messages should go to a real inbox you check on both phone and desktop.

Buttons can link to donation pages, event registration, or any public URL. Keep one clear call to action per email so mobile readers know exactly what to tap.

What You Can Add

• Text Blocks: Write your message with formatting options like bold, italic, and links

• Images: Upload photos or use images from your library

• Buttons: Add clickable buttons that link to your donation page, event registration, or any link

• Columns: Create side-by-side layouts for a polished look

• Dividers: Separate sections with horizontal lines

• Your Branding: Your logo, colors, and organization name are applied automatically

Preview Before Sending

See exactly how your email will look on both desktop computers and mobile phones before you send it. This ensures your message looks great no matter how your recipients read it.
