Exclusive features and benefits of our latest email editor


We're always working to improve the features and functionality of our email editor. Whether you're working on a desktop computer, mobile phone, or tablet, we want to make sure Constant Contact is available to you. With our new Cross Device Editor, you can start an email on your mobile device with our mobile app and easily pick it up later on your desktop, or vice versa!
 

While there are several features from our previous email editor that you're used to using, we have many new and exclusive features that you'll only find within the Cross Device Editor to help you get the most out of your email marketing!


Mobile editing

Emails created with the Cross Device Editor can be easily edited on both desktop and mobile devices. The Constant Contact mobile app has been enhanced to give you more control and flexibility when editing your campaigns on-the-go.
 



Click-and-stick editing

We know if you’re using a laptop trackpad, it can be a challenge to drag-and-drop blocks in the email editor. With the Cross Device Editor, you can choose to use the click-and-stick method instead, which is just one click to pick up a block, and another click to drop it where you want it to go! And don't worry, you can still drag-and-drop if you'd like.
 


 

Let us write content for you

Say goodbye to writer's block! Simply enter a few keywords and our Content Generator will automatically generate text for you to insert right into your email draft. You can then edit the content exactly to your liking.

Drive sales with the Product block

If you sell goods through an ecommerce store—like Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, Square, Squarespace, or eBay—you can insert items directly into your emails with the Product block to help drive more sales! In the previous third-generation email editor, you could only insert products from Shopify or WooCommerce.

Promote your upcoming event with the Event block

With our new Event tool, you can seamlessly create and manage an event from start to finish right from Constant Contact. To make it easy for you to promote your event and collect registrations, our Event block automatically pulls in your event details and a link for your audience to register.

Display information in a table with the Data Table block

If you need to include a bit of information in your email, the Data Table block lets you organize your content in a table and customize it to match the design of your email.

Let contacts forward your email to a friend

The dedicated Social Share block makes it easy for your contacts to share your email with others through a forwarded email or on their social media profiles.

Make it easy for contacts to click-to-call you

When contacts read your email on a mobile device, you can let them easily click-to-call you by inserting a link to a phone number in any text or button.

If you use Canva to create graphics, you can quickly connect your account to create and insert images from Canva directly into your campaigns.

Check for errors

In addition to the Cross Device Editor being equipped with browser-supported spell check, you can also use the Check for Errors tool to review your subject line, preheader, From Name, From, and Reply-to email addresses, and the links in your email to help ensure it lands in your contacts’ inboxes and of them engaging with it.

Accessibility

You can feel confident knowing our editor makes your emails more accessible for all your recipients. The Cross Device Editor allows screen readers to recognize and understand blocks of text, and includes features you can use to create even more accessible emails.

 

More design customization options

The Design tab has been expanded and improved in the Cross Device Editor! Choose colors for the background and borders, add an outer border around your email template, select the font, color, and style for the text in different blocks, and customize the color, text style, and radius (to create rounded edges) for your buttons.
