How to customize the background of your email

You can enrich the background of your e-mail with a color in your house style or image of your choice.

Follow these steps to customize the background of your email:

  1. Log in to your Business Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Marketing and then to Templates

    Customizing the background can also be done in the email itself. To do this, go to Marketing and Emails.

  3. Select the template whose background you wish to customize and click Customize. You can also choose to start in an empty template 
    You now enter the email template's edit center.
  4. In the template, click on the white textured area on the left or right side, which looks something like this:Schermafbeelding 2023-01-12 om 09.22.23

    Please note: if you click on the content area in the template (where the Piggy logo is in the example), you will not be taken to the edit screen to change your background.

  5. An edit screen for the Structure now appears on the right. For setting the background, there are two choices:
    1. Using a background color. Search for Background Color at the top and set the desired color
    2. Using a background image. Go to Background Image and upload the desired image

      Tip: Use the Width function (Schermafbeelding 2023-01-12 om 09.32.14) to determine if the background or background color runs across the entire template.

  6. To also change the color of the columns, go to Column properties. Then select the desired color here, which may look like this:Schermafbeelding 2023-01-12 om 09.41.35

Please note: do not forget to save you work in between! Customizing your template is not an auto-safe.
