Footers are a common location for contact information, social media links, and unsubscribe links in your messages. Template Designer makes it easy to create professional looking footers.

Adding a Footer

From the Design > Build tab, expand the Footer category and drag and drop one of the many footer types onto the canvas.

Top-Level Properties

You can set the following top-level properties for all footer types:

NOTE: To access these properties, click the top row of a footer, as highlighted below.

Use Default Background - If checked, your footer uses the background color set in the Theme menu. If unchecked, you can use the color picker to select a unique color for the layout’s background.
Border - If checked, your footer applies a border with several possible settings.
Border Style - Click the dropdown to select a solid, dashed, or dotted border.
Border Size - Click the dropdown to set the border size in pixels (1-10).

Padding - Click the dropdown list to set the padding around your footer (0-30 pixels).
Apply Padding To - Check the corresponding checkbox for each side (top, bottom, left, and right) that applies padding.
