Quick Answer
What can you manage inside an Email Builder element?
You can format content, clear pasted formatting, insert custom values, add trigger links, use ContentAI, preview and test the email, edit or remove blocks, and control whether certain elements appear only for contacts who meet selected conditions.
Controlling How Your Email Content Is Built and Displayed
Managing how each email element behaves can affect both the design of the message and how relevant that message is to the recipient.
The BizStackPro Email Builder includes tools for formatting, personalization, content creation, testing, element management, and conditional visibility.
These controls can help keep emails cleaner, easier to build, and more targeted for different contacts.
Element Controls at a Glance
Before You Begin
Open the email or template you want to edit inside the BizStackPro Email Builder.
- Identify the text or content element you want to edit.
- If using personalization or conditional visibility, know which contact field or saved value you want to use.
- Plan to preview and test the finished email before sending.
Advanced Editing Options
The inline editor includes tools that can help you format, personalize, and create email content without leaving the element.
Clear Format
Remove formatting from pasted text so it can match the rest of the template more consistently.
Custom Values
Personalize email content using saved contact details and fields.
Trigger Links
Add clickable links that can trigger automations or help track contact intent.
ContentAI
Generate relevant email copy to help speed up the writing process.
Using the inline editor
Click inside a text element and open the inline editor toolbar. From there, use Clear Format, insert Custom Values, add Trigger Links, or generate text with ContentAI.
Saving and Previewing
Before sending an email, use the available preview and testing tools to check the layout, links, personalization, and attachments.
Versioning
Save elements, reuse them, and review version history when those options are available.
File Attachments
Attach files within the platform’s available limits when the email requires an attachment.
Test and Preview
Use Test Email and Preview Template to review the final result before sending.
Test the finished email
Send a test email to yourself and check links, personalization tokens, and spacing on both desktop and mobile.
Managing Elements
The inline editor provides formatting controls, while the element-management tools let you adjust or remove content blocks without rebuilding the entire layout.
- Adjust font styling, font sizes commonly ranging from 8px to 96px, and colors.
- Use bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough where needed.
- Add hyperlinks, adjust alignment, and fine-tune line height.
- Edit or remove blocks using the Manage Elements panel.
Example
If a section becomes outdated, remove that block through Manage Elements instead of deleting its text line by line. This can help keep the surrounding layout cleaner.
Conditional Elements
Conditional visibility lets you show an email element only to contacts who match the rules you configure.
Step 1: Open Visibility
Open the Visibility tab for the element you want to control.
Step 2: Enable Conditional Element
Turn on Conditional Element.
Step 3: Select a Supported Field Type
Choose a supported field type such as single-line text, numbers, radio selects, or single-select drop-down fields.
Step 4: Set the Rule
Configure the condition that determines whether the contact should see the element.
Step 5: Save
Save the conditional element settings after the rule has been configured.
Supported field types are limited
Conditional elements support specific field types. Multi-select fields are typically not supported.
Why This Matters
Speed
Inline editing tools and ContentAI can help you build email content faster.
Consistency
Cleaner formatting can make templates easier to read and keep them aligned with your branding.
Relevance
Conditional elements can show different content based on the contact data used in the selected rules.
Confidence
Testing and previewing can help catch broken links, personalization issues, and layout problems before sending.
