  • 66% - 34%: two columns, the left column occupies 34%, the right column occupies 66% of the width of your email

Tip
When you drag a Layout block to the template, it will be a Text block by default, but you can add any types of Content blocks to the Layout.

2. Content blocks

Text

  • This block lets you input text. You can use it to write the introduction part of your email or any text message you would like to send to the customers.
  • There are regular formatting options such as fonts, colors, bullet points, links, and so on.

  • You can change the weight (in px), styles (solid, dashed,...) and color of your line.

Spacer

  • This block lets you insert a space between parts of your email, normally to make them less condensed.
  • To adjust the Spacer Content (spacer height), you need to adjust the Top and Bottom padding in Block Settings.

Button

  • This block lets you insert a button linked to your product page or anywhere you want.
  • You can customize the button text, button URL, text color, background color, and so on.
  • Tips: you can type {{ in the Button URL to see a drop-down of all available variables for that field.

3. Judge.me Review Request blocks

Form

  • This block provides you with an in-email form for customers to review your products directly inside the email they receive from you. 
  • You can customize the title of the form, placeholder, button text, button background, star color and so on.

  • After customers submit reviews using the in-email form, their reviews will be automatically recorded into the dashboard. Then, they will be redirected to the product page with a message saying that “Your review has been successfully submitted. Thanks!”. From here, they can choose to edit any details or add more pictures using the Review Widget.

Stars

  • This block opens a step-by-step review form for a single product that asks customers to upload a picture or video first.
  • You can customize the star color.

Shop Review

  • This block allows customers to submit a shop review by linking them to the “write a review” form on the All Reviews Page.
  • You can customize the button text, button background, star color and so on.

Multi Product

  • This block allows you to add multiple products from your customers' orders that are ready to be reviewed. Each product includes an image, a title and a review button that links customers to the “write a review” form on that product page.
  • You can customize the block title, button text, picture size, button color, button background, and so on.

Suggestions

  • This block helps you with upselling by recommending products that your customers may like.
  • You can choose among 4 different ways to display your products: Bought Together, Top Sellers, Most Reviewed, or Random Selection.
  • You can also change the number of products, and other customization of text, images, and buttons.
  • A handpicked recommendations option will be available in the next version.

  • You can edit the padding, margin, border, color, etc. of this block.

  • Please make sure to add an unsubscribe block (or an unsubscribe link using the {{ unsubscribe_href }} variable) in every email template. Otherwise, you can't save your email templates.

4. Settings

Block Settings

For every block, these are available settings:

  • Padding: adjust the space around your block content relative to the block border
  • Margin: adjust the distance of your block relative to the email template border
  • Border: add a border around your block (you can change the weight in px, style, and color of the border)
  • Border Radius: add a more rounded corner to your border
  • Color: change the text color in your block
  • Background Color: change the background color of your block
  • Align: adjust the text alignment in your block

Template Settings

For the Email Template as a whole, these are available settings:

  • Template Name: internal name of your Email Template
  • Preview Text: the small text that displays next to the Email Subject
  • Email Subject: The subject that customers will see when they receive your emails
  • Desktop Width: the width of your whole email body relative to the email background
  • Email Background: color of your email background
  • Content Background: color of your content background
  • Text Color: color of your text
  • Links Color: color of your links
  • Show Judge.me Branding: whether you would like to show “Powered by Judge.me” on the footer or not
  • Number of Emails for Orders with Multiple Products:
    • Send multiple emails, one email for each qualified product in the order
    • Send a single email, even if the order contains multiple products

For example:

  • If the order contains 4 products, you can choose to send 4 emails to your customers, in different sequences (most expensive, least expensive, random, least reviews) which can be adjusted in the Review Request settings). Otherwise, you can choose to send 1 single email with 4 products in the order. 
  • If you include BOTH the Form (Single Product) block and Multi-Product block in ONE template, the first line item in the sequence will be placed in Form block, and the other products will be placed in the Multi-Product block. If the order contains only one product, or you choose to send multiple emails including one single product, the Multi-Product block won't appear in the real emails.
