Interactive email your whole team can build

Carousels, hotspots, accordions and more, designed for your brand and as easy to edit as any other module. Every one comes with a fallback, so every subscriber gets a great email, whatever inbox they use.

Designed for your programme

There’s no off-the-shelf set of interactive modules. We design the ones your programme needs, to suit your brand and your campaigns, from carousels, hotspots and accordions to quizzes. If we can find a way to make it editable, we can build it.

  • Designed for your brand
  • Carousels, hotspots, accordions and more
  • Built for your team to edit

Fallbacks take care of themselves

Some inboxes can’t show interactive email, so every interactive module comes with a fallback. For most modules it’s built from the same content, so by the time your team has filled in a carousel, the fallback is already done.

  • A fallback for every interactive module
  • Built from the same content
  • Nothing extra to edit

Shop the look

Turn any image into something subscribers want to explore. Your team places as many hotspots as they like, each opening its own image and link, and a fallback image looks after the inboxes that can’t show them.

  • As many hotspots as you need
  • Dragged into place on the image
  • A pop-up and link for each one

No surprises

Preview any email in its interactive and fallback versions, on desktop and mobile side by side. Reviewers can do the same on proofs and preview links, so both versions are signed off before anything reaches your ESP.

  • Interactive and fallback at a click
  • Desktop and mobile side by side
  • On proofs and preview links too

FAQs

Which inboxes can show interactive email?

It varies from inbox to inbox, and it changes over time. Apple Mail supports the most, and according to Litmus it accounts for more than 60% of email opens. Other inboxes show some interactions or none at all, which is why every interactive module comes with a fallback.

What do subscribers see if their inbox can’t show it?

The fallback, which we design at the same time as the interactive version. For a carousel, that’s usually the slides stacked one after another. For hotspots, it’s an image of your choice with its own link.

Can you build an interactive module we haven’t seen before?

Very likely. If we can find a way to make it editable in mailCMS, we can build it. Tell us what you have in mind and our team will scope it with you.

Are interactive modules tested?

Yes. Like every module in your design system, they’re tested on real devices and in Email on Acid, along with their fallbacks, before your team ever uses them.

Do interactive modules work with our ESP?

Yes. They export with the rest of your email, whether you send it straight to your ESP or download the HTML.
