Using the Image Slider in the Email Builder

The email builder now includes an Image Slider element, enhancing the toolkit for users aiming to design dynamic and visually engaging emails. This feature simplifies the process of creating and integrating image sliders, offering an enriched user experience and heightened engagement in email campaigns.

Key Benefits of the Image Slider Element in the Email Builder

  1. Visual Appeal

    The Image Slider allows for the integration of dynamic images in a sequence, making your email campaigns visually engaging. This can increase recipient interaction and help communicate messages more effectively through eye-catching visuals.

  2. Easy Setup and Customization

    With a simple drag-and-drop interface, adding and configuring the Image Slider in emails is straightforward. You can add images directly from the media library or via URLs, making it flexible and easy to use for various types of email content.

  3. Improved User Experience

    By allowing images to be presented in a slider format, the feature helps create a more organized and clean layout. Users can focus on one image at a time while still being able to navigate through multiple images with ease.

  4. Customizable Design

    The Image Slider is fully customizable to suit your design preferences. You can adjust padding, margins, and even set the corner radius for the images. Additionally, the inclusion of thumbnails beneath the slider helps with navigation and adds a visual preview for the recipient.

  5. Navigation Controls

    With built-in options to add navigation arrows, recipients can easily move through the image slides. The slider supports user interaction, which enhances the overall engagement with the email content.
