Send an email that looks designed. No designer required.

You are not designing an email. You are designing the template every future email gets duplicated from.

1. In Canva, go to Create a design > Email. It has to be the Email type. A social post or presentation will not export as an email.
2. Pick a layout close to what you want and strip it back: logo header, one hero image, one headline, two short paragraphs, one button, footer.
3. Set your two fonts and your three brand colors on it. Use a web-safe or common font for body text, since some email apps swap fonts they don't recognize.
4. Name it MASTER and never send it. Every new email starts as a copy.

Design is not what makes an email sell. The subject line and the offer do. Get those right in a doc first, then pour them into the template. Paste the prompt at the bottom of this page into Claude or ChatGPT with your product details.

1. Duplicate MASTER and rename it with the send date and topic.
2. Headline and body go in text boxes. Never type words onto your hero image.
3. Put the button above the first scroll on a phone, and link it to the exact product or collection page, not your homepage.
4. Keep images to one hero and, at most, a product row. Export product shots on a plain background.
5. Add your unsubscribe and address footer if your platform does not add it for you.

1. Toggle between Desktop and Mobile preview in Canva and fix anything that wraps badly.
2. Send yourself a test email from Canva. It arrives from no-reply@preview.canva.email.
3. Open it on your phone. Tap every link. Turn images off in your mail app once and make sure the email still makes sense.

Everything starts from the Share button in the top right of your Canva email.

Klaviyo limits each Canva user to one connected Klaviyo account at a time. If you run two brands, you disconnect and reconnect to switch.

After the export, use your platform's own preview and send one more test. Email apps render HTML differently, and Canva turns charts and embeds into images and videos into GIFs on export. Fix it there, then schedule.
