July & August 2025 release notes: Template library and enhanced social connections

Professional templates at your fingertips

Creating emails just got dramatically easier with our new template gallery. No more staring at a blank screen wondering where to start – we've created a collection of professionally designed templates that work beautifully across all email clients.

What's in the gallery?

Our template collection covers every email marketing scenario:

Newsletter & Content templates for regular communications, company updates, and blog roundups

Promotional & Sales templates for product launches, special offers, and sales campaigns

Customer Lifecycle templates for welcome series, onboarding flows, and retention campaigns

Event & Community templates for invitations, webinar promotions, and community updates

Seasonal templates for holiday campaigns, summer sales, and special occasions

Industry-specific designs

We didn't just create generic templates – each one includes relevant content for specific industries like retail, hospitality, health & wellness, technology, non-profits, and municipal organizations. This means less time adapting content and more time focusing on your message.

Fully customizable starting points

These aren't rigid templates that lock you in. Every template is fully customizable – change colors, fonts, images, and content to match your brand perfectly. Think of them as professional starting points that showcase what's possible with our email builder.

Social media elements that actually connect

Your social media icons just became powerful communication tools. We've expanded what they can do far beyond just linking to your profiles.

Direct contact made simple

Email integration: Add email addresses to any social icon. When recipients click, their email client opens automatically with a new message addressed to you. Perfect for creating direct communication channels in newsletters and campaigns.

Phone & SMS functionality: Add phone numbers to social icons for one-tap calling and texting on mobile devices. We've included dedicated, visually distinct phone and SMS icons that use proper HTML formatting for optimal compatibility.

Expanded icon library

We've added tons of new options:

• Updated Instagram logo reflecting latest branding guidelines
• New communication icons: mail, website, hyperlink, globe, phone, SMS
• New social platforms: Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Mastodon
• Utility icons: share icon for easy content sharing

Smart validation built-in

Don't worry about formatting – we automatically validate email addresses and phone numbers to ensure they work properly across all email clients and devices.
