How to use the Drag & drop editor

Mailcamp's drag & drop editor helps you build a campaign visually without writing HTML. You can choose a template, drop content blocks into the layout, edit each block, add a preheader, and then continue to the schedule and send steps.

Before you open the editor

  • Create a campaign and complete the earlier setup steps first, including recipients and campaign settings.
  • Open the campaign's content step.
  • Choose a template that supports the visual builder.

Step 1: Open the campaign content step

  • Go to Campaigns.
  • Open the campaign you want to work on.
  • Continue to the Content step.
  • If needed, click Change template to pick a different template first.

Step 2: Open the drag & drop editor

  • On the content screen, click the visual email builder option.
  • If your account shows more than one builder option, choose the drag & drop email builder rather than the classic editor.
  • Mailcamp opens the builder in the editor view so you can start designing the message.

Step 3: Build the layout with blocks

  • Drag content blocks into the email layout.
  • Add the sections you need, such as text, images, buttons, spacers, dividers, or multi-column layouts.
  • Arrange the blocks in the order you want readers to see them.

Step 4: Edit each content block

  • Click a block to edit its content and styling.
  • Replace placeholder text with your real campaign copy.
  • Upload or select images where needed.
  • Update buttons, links, colors, spacing, and alignment so the email matches your brand.

Step 5: Add supporting campaign content

  • Return to the content page if you need to review the template summary.
  • Add or update the preheader so inbox previews show better supporting text.
  • If available in your setup, check the spam score before moving on.

Step 6: Review and save your work

  • Preview the email and make sure the layout looks clean.
  • Check links, text, images, and spacing before you leave the editor.
  • Save your changes so Mailcamp stores the updated campaign content.

Step 7: Continue to schedule and send

  • After the content looks correct, click Save and Next.
  • Choose whether to send immediately or schedule the campaign for later.
  • Review the final confirmation screen before sending.

Helpful tips

  • Keep one main goal per email so the layout stays focused.
  • Use clear headings, short paragraphs, and one primary call to action.
  • Preview carefully on desktop and mobile before sending to your audience.
  • If you prefer a more manual editing experience, Mailcamp may also offer the classic editor depending on your account settings.

If you are building a standard HTML campaign in Mailcamp, the drag & drop editor is usually the easiest place to create a polished email quickly.
