Full width Blasts are a great way to send a simple email that formats your Blast to look as if it was sent in Gmail or Outlook. With simplified formatting, Full width Blasts are limited to the Text, Image, and Signature Elements - These elements will span the full width of the email instead of being placed in the center of it.
Please Note: The full width Blast feature is only available for Internal Organizations.
Toggle Full Width Blast On or Off
To toggle full width Blasts on/off for a specific Blast, from Blast Editor:
Click the ⋮ Ellipsis menu button to the right of Exit.
Click Email Settings.
Toggle Full Width Email on or off.
Click Save Changes.
Creating a Full Width Blast
When creating a full width Blast, you will only be able to select from the following three Elements:
These Elements will function the same when using the standard Blast editor, except there are two caveats:
In full width Blasts, you can only have one Element per row since each Element will be using the full width of the email.
Image Size cannot be adjusted. Since the image will keep its size on both desktop and mobile, it's important that you send yourself multiple samples and view them on both platforms to ensure the image is the correct size.
Examples
The examples below show the format differences between a full width Blast and a regular Blast when viewed inside your inbox:

Regular Blast
When creating a full width Blast, the preview doesn't always represent what will be seen in your Audience's inbox. For that reason, we highly recommend you send samples before sending out your Blast!
