Three ways to build

Blocks, rich text, or your own code. Your call.

One editor, three ways to work. Pick whichever fits the email in front of you, and switch between them any time.
🧩 Drag and drop

Snap blocks into place

Drag columns, buttons, headings, images, dividers and more onto the canvas. Reorder them by dragging, and every block stays mobile responsive without a single line of code.

✍ Rich text

Format as you type

Bold, lists, links, fonts, colors and alignment, right where you write. Drop in merge fields like first name for personalized emails that still read naturally.

💻 Custom HTML

Bring your own code

Have a hand coded template? Drop in an HTML block and paste it, or edit the source directly. You keep full control while the rest of the email stays visual.

For the hands on

Prefer to write the HTML yourself? Do that too.

Switch a block to HTML and edit the source right in the editor, with a live preview beside it and desktop and mobile views a click apart. Paste a full template or fine tune one line, then keep building visually around it.

FAQ

The email editor, answered

Is the email editor free to use?

Yes. Create your account free with Google or Microsoft sign-in and design emails on the free plan, no credit card required. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts get the quickest start; personal Gmail or Outlook.com works too, with lower sending limits while your account builds trust. Paid plans add higher sending volumes.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Most people build with drag and drop blocks and rich text formatting, and never touch code. The custom HTML block is there for the times you want it, so coders get full control and everyone else does not have to think about it.

Will my emails look right on phones?

Yes. Every block is mobile responsive by default, and you can switch between desktop and mobile previews as you build. Emails reflow to fit smaller screens, so what you design stays readable in any inbox.

Can I paste in my own HTML template?

Yes. Add an HTML block and paste your code, or edit the source directly in the editor. You can build an entire email in HTML, or mix a hand coded block into an otherwise visual design.

Can I personalize what each contact sees?

Yes. Insert merge fields like first name, last name or company anywhere in the text, and each contact receives their own value. If a field is missing, you set a fallback so the sentence still reads naturally. It is the same editor used for AI drafted emails, so you can start from a draft and finish it by hand.

Where does the email editor fit in Mailsoftly?

The editor is where every email is designed, whether you send it as a one off campaign or wire it into an automated sequence. It is one part of Mailsoftly's email marketing software, alongside contacts, templates, automation and reporting.
