Configuration of Layout Tool with Margins

[hlee03]

Currently, I have an email automation that takes a layout tool as the body of the email. The layout tool takes in a text tool and two images. The format should appear to have the first image as the logo on top, followed by the text, ending with the final image.

The problem I’m having is that when the layout is configured to automatic, the text input takes up the entire margin whereas the logo is in the middle. What I want is the body of the email to align with the margins with the pictures. I’ve played around with the different percentage and manual widths but that leads to a problem where resizing the email changes the format again. I know that I want a fixed width of 4 inches and it looks exactly like what I want in the browse tool but when the email is sent, it switches back to an automatic width of 100%. Is this a known bug or am I missing something?

Is there a way to go about this so that the margins on all 3 inputs are aligned in the email itself?

Hi @hlee03 

I had some luck updating the layout tool after the report text to be a percentage width of 40. Also, instead of using a multi join tool for all 3, you should join the two images by position, then append to the report text (screenshot below). In your current workflow only the first email has the images.

The layout looks great when looking at the browse tool but when you enlarge the email itself, the format of the text still ranges the entire width of the email.

Hi @hlee03 

Tweak it down to 20%. Below is from my email - looks like you expect:

The output format changes as you change the size of the window. This impacts how the email looks on mobile. Attached is a preview of what it looks like on mobile and smaller window. What I'm looking for is for the margins to be changed dynamically.

Ah I see. I'd have to play around with it more. If I have time today I'll check but maybe others will have suggestions.
