Customizing the Design of Email Templates
Designing email templates allows you to keep the look and feel of your branding consistent in your communications to the community. Editing the content and design of the emails are separated to make it easier to reuse the email templates.
The following elements can be customized to design email templates:
- The header - this can be an image or an image and background color aligned to your branding. The recommended image size: 800px by 150px;
- The external body - this is the area bordering the text zone. The text zone will always remain white, however, you can customize the color of the external body.
- The action button - the color of the button and the text on the button can be changed.
