How to create a new template

Creating a new email in Sendigram is a flexible process designed to match your workflow. Whether you're a design pro or just starting out, you can get a beautiful campaign ready in minutes. Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Choose Your Starting Point

When you decide to create a new email, you'll be presented with four main options to begin:

  1. Create from scratch: This option takes you directly into our powerful drag-and-drop editor. It's a blank canvas, giving you complete creative freedom to build a unique email from the ground up.
  2. Choose from Sendigram gallery: Pick from a wide variety of professionally designed, ready-to-use templates. This is perfect for inspiration or for quickly launching a great-looking campaign.
  3. Choose from my templates: Use one of your own previously saved templates. This is the fastest way to maintain brand consistency and save time on recurring emails like newsletters. (Note: This option is only available if you have saved templates).
  4. Build with Sendigram Assistant: describe the email you want and the AI assistant generates a template for you. This option is also available in the left menu as AI Email Builder.

Option 1: Using the Sendigram Template Gallery 🎨

If you select Choose from Sendigram gallery, you'll be taken to our extensive template library.

  • Filter and Find: Use the category list on the right (Hot Templates, Holidays and Events, Newsletters, Email Purposes and Situations, Business Industry) to find the perfect fit for your message.
  • Preview: Click the Preview button on any template to see a full-size version in a pop-up window. You can even toggle between desktop and mobile views to ensure it looks great on all devices.
  • Select Your Template: Once you've found the one you love, click Use template. You'll be taken straight into the drag-and-drop editor with the template loaded, ready for you to add your content.

Option 2: Using Your Own Saved Templates

Selecting Choose from my templates takes you to your personal library of saved designs.

  • Search and Sort: Quickly find the exact template you need by using the search bar to look for a template's name or by filtering by its tags.
  • Preview: Just like in the gallery, you can click on any template to open a preview window and check the desktop and mobile layouts.
  • Copy and Edit: To use a template, click Copy and edit. Sendigram will create a new copy of your template and open it in the editor, ensuring your original master template remains untouched. This is the perfect way to start your next campaign without affecting past work.
