What is a Text block?
A Text block is body copy in a column: one or more paragraphs that recipients read. You can add links, bold, italic, underline, and other inline styles inside the paragraph.
Use Text for explanations, offers, and supporting copy. Use a Heading block for titles, a List block for bullets or numbers, and Graphic Text when you need a decorative Google Font that inboxes cannot render as live type.
How to add
- Open the Blocks tab in the left sidebar.
- Drag Text into a column on the canvas.
- Click the block to edit its content and properties.
