The Menu block is an essential element if you are including a navigation menu in your email campaigns. It ensures that all of the spacing and functionalities in the menu work as expected and allows you to link the items in a number of ways.

The Menu block is only available in the drag and drop editor. For information about legacy* editor content blocks, please refer to this article.

How to use the Menu block

1. Navigate to your Campaigns tab.
2. Open a saved drag and drop draft or click on the Create new campaign button to create a new campaign from scratch.
3. Click on the Menu block in the right panel and drag it to the desired location in your mailing.
4. Click on the block to open the Content properties panel.
5. Click on the Add new item button to add your first menu item.
6. Use the options to customize your menu item.
   1. Text: Use this field to enter the label for this menu item.
   2. Link type: Use the dropdown menu to determine whether you want to link to a webpage, an email address, a telephone, or an SMS link.
   3. URL: Enter the URL for the link.
   4. Target: Use the dropdown to determine if the link should open in a new tab or redirect the current tab.
   5. Title: Enter a title for the URL. This title will be used as an identifier in your response data.

How to delete and reorder items

To delete an item, click on the Delete link for that item in the Content properties panel on the right. You can delete the whole block by clicking on the trashcan icon in the blue toolbar that appears above or below the block when selected.

To re-order your items, click on the set of four lines at the top of the item’s settings in the Content properties panel and drag the item up or down.
