Over the last few months, we have been receiving requests for improvements to the Keela eblast template builder. Some of the problems were:

  • The design is limited
  • It’s hard to navigate through the tool
  • We can’t add video
  • It just doesn’t look good
  • We are limited to two colours in the backgrounds
  • The templates are not easy to use

We heard all of that feedback, and to be honest, we agreed with all of it!

We built Keela to make your lives easier — not harder. So we went back to the drawing board to improve the builder to make it work for you!

Easy-to-use eblast template builder

The biggest focus for our redesign of the eblast template builder was to make it easy to use. We know that you’re running around with a lot on your plate already — the last thing you need is for your tools to be complicated.

With that in mind, we introduced drag-and-drop functionality directly to the tool — making building emails quicker and simpler. Here’s what it looks like in action:

We also added more elements for you to play around with and maximize your creativity. These elements include:

  • Multiple columns
  • Full-width layouts
  • Boxed text
  • Image cards
  • Image with captions
  • Footer sections
  • Videos
  • Custom HTML code

New eblast templates

The new eblast builder also comes pre-loaded with new templates. We decided to create templates that are most common in your nonprofit work.

When you open up the builder to create a new eblast, you can choose from three categories of pre-made templates: Fundraising templates, Newsletter templates, and Stewardship templates.

And of course, you can always start from scratch and build your own.
