The email editor

Sendra's email editor is a block-based WYSIWYG editor. What you see in the editor is exactly what your recipients will see — no surprises, no "it looked different in preview."

Editor modes

The editor has three modes, accessible from the toolbar:

• Visual — the default block editor. Write content, insert elements with slash commands, drag to reorder, and style everything visually.
• HTML — raw HTML editing for when you need full control. Use this for custom layouts or pasting HTML from external tools.
• Preview — see your email as it will render in desktop and mobile email clients.

Writing content

Start typing to create a paragraph. The editor supports standard text formatting:

• Bold — Cmd/Ctrl + B
• Italic — Cmd/Ctrl + I
• Underline — Cmd/Ctrl + U
• Links — Cmd/Ctrl + K

Press Enter to create a new block. Press Shift + Enter for a line break within the same block.

Block types

Every piece of content is a block. Available blocks:

Insert any block by typing / to open the slash command menu.

Drag and drop

Hover over any block to reveal a drag handle on the left. Grab it to reorder blocks within your email.

Text alignment

Select text and use the alignment controls in the toolbar to set left, center, or right alignment.

The two-layer design

Sendra emails use a two-layer design:

1. Outer layer — the email client background (what Gmail, Outlook, etc. show behind your email)
2. Inner layer — the content card where your actual email lives

This creates a clean "floating card" look in email clients that support it. You can customize both layers independently in email styling.
