# Email Templates

Designing email templates in Figma just got easier. With the latest enhancements to the Rechat Figma Plugin, you can now create structured, email-ready templates faster with automatic layout handling.

#### **1. Automatic Row & Column Structure**

When designing email templates, structure matters. Every element must follow a specific layout to render properly across email providers.

Now, the plugin handles that for you.

* Adding an element (like an image or text) will **automatically place it inside a column and row**
* No need to manually build the structure first
* Ensures your designs are **email-compliant by default**

{% hint style="info" %}
Email formatting is strict. This removes guesswork and prevents broken layouts when exporting to Rechat.
{% endhint %}

#### **2. Faster Template Creation with Smart Elements**

You can now build templates by simply selecting elements like:

* Image
* Text
* Button
* Divider

The plugin will:

* Automatically generate the correct layout structure
* Place elements exactly where they need to go
* Maintain compatibility with email rendering standards

#### **3. Easier Multi-Column Layouts**

Need side-by-side content (like price + details or agent info)?

* Add a new row
* Adjust the number of columns
* Drop content directly into each column

This makes it easy to create:

* Property detail sections
* Agent info blocks
* Multi-column layouts

#### **4. Built-In Email Design Best Practices**

The plugin is designed specifically for email constraints:

* Encourages simple, clean layouts
* Prevents unsupported structures
* Keeps templates optimized for deliverability and rendering

### **What This Means for You**

With these enhancements, you can:

* Design email templates directly in Figma with confidence
* Reduce back-and-forth fixing layout issues
* Create templates faster for your agents
* Ensure everything works seamlessly once imported into Rechat

{% hint style="info" %}
If you’re building email templates, **always think in rows and columns,** even if you don’t have to manually create them anymore. It’ll help you design more intentionally and avoid layout surprises.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.rechat.com/appendix/brokerage-set-up/marketing-template-guidelines/figma/email-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
