How It Works

This node takes your email content, hero image, and call-to-action, then combines them with a professionally designed GXS email template. The node processes your inputs, applies the selected template styling and layout optimized for various product types, inserts your content and images, and generates both an HTML email file and returns the complete email content ready for distribution through email platforms.
