Customize Your Email

Use the editor’s tools to perfect your email:
  • Chat interface for AI-powered changes
  • Visual editor for drag-and-drop customization
  • Content tools for text, images, and formatting
  • Design controls for colors, fonts, and layout
Combine AI suggestions with manual edits for the best results. Start with AI generation, then fine-tune with specific changes.

Editor Interface

The email editor consists of several key areas:

Main Editing Area

  • Canvas: Where you build and preview your email
  • Component library: Drag-and-drop elements like text, images, buttons
  • Preview modes: Desktop, mobile, and dark mode previews

Chat Interface

  • AI assistant: Natural language editing commands
  • Context awareness: Understands your brand and content
  • Smart suggestions: Proactive recommendations for improvements

Design Panel

  • Typography: Font selection and text formatting
  • Colors: Brand color palette and custom colors
  • Spacing: Padding, margins, and layout controls
  • Responsive settings: Mobile-specific adjustments

Best Practices

Let Brew generate the initial content, then use specific prompts to refine details. This combines AI efficiency with human creativity.
Always preview on mobile and desktop. Brew’s responsive design handles most cases automatically, but always verify the experience.
Use your brand colors, fonts, and voice throughout. Brew automatically applies your brand system, but you can override when needed.
Keep images optimized, use clear CTAs, and ensure fast loading. Brew automatically optimizes many elements, but monitor performance.
