Building Email Templates with the Visual Editor

A comprehensive guide to using Cavaco's drag-and-drop visual editor to create stunning email templates.

The Email Template Builder

Cavaco's email template builder lets you create beautiful, on-brand email designs without writing code. Templates are reusable — build them once and use them across multiple campaigns.

Direct Messaging - Email Templates

The Email Templates page shows all your saved templates ready to use in campaigns.

Creating a New Template

Navigate to Direct Messaging > Email Templates and click New Template. Start from a blank canvas or choose from Cavaco's pre-built template library. The drag-and-drop editor includes these block types:

  • Text — Paragraphs, headings, and lists
  • Image — Single or multi-column image layouts
  • Button — CTA buttons with customizable styling
  • Product — Dynamic product cards pulled from your catalog
  • Divider — Visual separators between sections
  • Social — Social media follow buttons

Dynamic Personalization

Use merge tags to personalize email content dynamically. Common variables include {first_name}, {last_order_date}, {recommended_products}, and {coupon_code}. Cavaco automatically populates these with real customer data at send time.

Testing Before Sending

Always send a test email before using a template in a live campaign. Click Send Test in the template editor to preview exactly how the email will appear in your inbox.
