Containers

What are containers?

Containers are like a layout template for your newsletter articles. You can drag and drop them into your mailing.

In Newsletters & campaigns there are three types of containers.

  1. Inxmail containers

    Ideal for getting started and sufficient for most designs. Insert them directly into your mailing and fill them with your content.

    Inxmail containers are the standard containers available by default in "Newsletters & campaigns". The positions for text, image and button elements are already defined. You can insert and edit them directly in your mailing.

    To get started, it is best to work with the standard containers - especially if you are using "newsletters & campaigns" for the first time.

    Banner (extra wide)

    The banner (extra wide) consists of three image elements. Crop your image to the correct dimensions beforehand, using an image editing program:

    • 600 x 300 px (center)

    • 150 x 300 px (left + right)
    Banner image
    Image + product text
    Image + text
    Button
    Footer (text)
    Product text + image
    Section
    Text
    Text (2-column)
    Text + image
    Separator

    You cannot delete Inxmail containers: They are provided by Inxmail. There is no way for you to edit or delete Inxmail containers.

  2. Custom containers

    Create them if the standard Inxmail containers do not support your design. Define the layout yourself and add your content in the mailing.

    If required, you can create your own containers in the "Containers" navigation item to freely place images and texts in your mailing and design complex layouts.

    As soon as your container is inserted in the mailing, you can fill the text and image elements with your own content.

  3. Content containers

    Create them to save your container content. Re-use containers with content in multiple mailings.

    If you use a container in your mailing, you will usually add text and images, style it and personalize it or link it to external content. You can save your completed and styled container as a content container so you can re-use it in other mailings.

    Alternatively, you can also create a new content container directly in the "Container" navigation item.

    Difference between custom and content containers: With a custom container, you create the structure for your mailing. In addition to the structure, you also save the content in a content container so that it can be re-used.
