Add responsive dividers to your email templates with ease

Need to add a divider to an email template? Now, you can easily insert responsive dividers that work across all email clients in Dyspatch.

With the Dyspatch Markup Language (DML), we’ve condensed the HTML for a divider into a simple, clean code snippet: dys-divider.

Just add dys-divider to your templates to save time, while effectively implementing new designs.  No need to jump down to dys-html to implement a responsive divider. The dys-divider abstraction is ready to go, and as always, responsive by default.

Social icons, now at your fingertips

Get social with our latest update! You can now add standard social icons to your Dyspatch email templates, quickly and easily.

Choose from 21 popular social media platforms and leverage our new dys-social and dys-social-element tags to implement their icons. Select which colour you prefer: black, white, or full colour. You can also choose your preferred icon shape: default (the icon with no background behind it), circle, or square.

Dys social email HTML abstraction

With these handy abstractions, you won’t need to loop in your designer to add new icons to your template, worry about design compliance, or hunt down social media icons for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Soundcloud, etc.! That means, less time in design and a speedier email creation process.

Align your text with a quick click

Aligning your text in Dyspatch just got easier. Now, you can use the rich text editor (RTE) to choose your preferred text alignment.

Text alignment in the rich text editor

Select from left, right, centered, or justified, and make sure your paragraph aligns perfectly in any template. With a quick click, you can try out different text alignments to see what works best — no dev help required. Build better looking text blocks faster, and get to market faster too.

We’ve updated our API limits to better serve all teams

Depending on how you use Dyspatch, you may need access to more API calls a month.

If you leverage our platform for transactional emails or localize templates, this may be true for you. With this in mind, we’ve increased the limit of API calls for our Starter and Team plans. Our goal is to serve all teams, to the best of our ability, and we hope this update helps!

See the new limits on our pricing page.

Simplify your content localization process with Block Localization support

With our latest update, managing localized content in Dyspatch is now even easier. Previously, content had to be updated on each individual template. Now, simply add content and localizations at the block level and share that content across all of your email templates, saving you valuable time and resources on translating the same content multiple times. When used in conjunction with bulk apply, you can now manage and update the content across all of your templates at once.

Block localizations also work in conjunction with pinned content, ensuring that your email templates are always up to date and ready to send.

Image Libraries Now in Dyspatch

Dyspatch users can now conveniently upload libraries of securely hosted, pre-approved, on-brand images and GIFs, which teams can use to build media rich interactive emails in the Dyspatch email builder.

If you’re syncing emails to multiple ESPs, all email assets are stored where everyone expects to find them: the email production platform, instead of across various other tools.

A new way to preview your template before publishing

The view toggle is an easy way to see what your email will look like on Desktop vs Mobile, and it even previews the plain text version. Simply click on one of the icons in the toggle to switch the view.

Dyspatch also provides Litmus device previews, but the view toggle will save you time in email production before you get to the Litmus previews stage.

Annotated comments help get your templates to customers faster

Leaving a comment directly on any element, section, or feature of a template reduces back-and-forth communication during the template’s creation, and makes the approval process a cinch.

Now, you can peg your comment directly on a CTA button to suggest new copy, below a hero image to assign a new placement for it, or on any of the template’s modules.

Quickly revert to the last safe version of a template

With the rollback feature, you always have a safe version to revert back to if changes were made that you no longer want to keep. This is a great feature because it saves teams from having to manually change things back, which takes time.

Rollback also exists because even with a granular approval process like we have in Dyspatch, sometimes mistakes happen. In the rare case where a mistake gets published in an email template, you can revert back to a safe draft with a couple of clicks, reducing the number of customers who may see the broken version. This helps you recover from mistakes like broken links, typos, or worse. (It’s the kind of feature we use rarely, granted, but when we need it...we really need it!)

Dyspatch launches Locale Groups to save you time and money in translations

Locale groups help you save money on your translations by letting you apply a translation (PO file) to multiple locales. So, let’s say you want to use a single French translation for France, Belgium, and Canada, you can create a group with those locales and apply the same, common translation to this.

Let me show you how it works. For example, our customers use this feature to bundle South American countries together and send them the same Spanish version. It only takes a couple of clicks to create the group, and have them share a translation.
