E-Mail Stylesheet is a feature that needs some CSS knowledge to use. Some content on the page needs to have a different style while sent as an email. We can define a custom style for them using this option.

 

Here are the steps to create a custom style:

  1. Open the HTML inspector of the browser on the page

  2. Inspect the content to apply style

  3. Define a "CSS selector" for it (using id, class, attribute, or tag name).

  4. Test this selector by adding it to the CSS section of the inspector

  5. Add new CSS into the selector and check the result

  6. copy the selector and CSS into the app configuration and save it
