The Smart Design feature performs an automatic search of your website, looking for things like company name, images, website descriptions, and more. Using this gathered content, it crafts AI-generated text for your emails. While Smart Design functions optimally with a website to search, if you don’t have a website, simply provide a company description.
There are two ways you can access the Smart Design tool, new users are greeted by the Smart Design chatbot and can be found within the email creation option.

Smart Design collects content from your website. If you don’t own a website, you can enter a site description, and it will generate content based on the information provided. After the template appears in the editor, you can edit the text, incorporate different images, or keep it unchanged. We strongly recommend customizing the emails to better suit your needs. This allows you to tailor the content to your audience and make it more personalized.
