Design it your way
Beautiful emails, with or without AI
AI agent or hands-on editor
Let the agent design the email from a brief, then fine-tune any block yourself. Both edit the same email.
26 design themes, your brand colour
Switch between themes like Modern, Editorial, Bold or Minimal in one click; your brand colour is applied on top.
Gmail tab estimate
See whether Gmail is likely to file the email under Promotions, and what is pushing it there, before you send.
Send from your own domain
Verify your domain with guided SPF and DKIM records, set up automatically if your DNS is on Cloudflare.
