Add your logo

Some footer templates allow you to add your logo. If you have already uploaded a logo for your account in your account settings ( IconeSettings > Email content > More options), it will be proposed to you by default. Learn how to change your account logo >

Change the background colour 

The footer is composed of two parts: the background and the content block.

Change the background colour

To change the background colour of the footer, enter the hexadecimal code directly in the colour field or click on the square to open the colour picker.

If you want to use the same colour or extend the background image of your email to the footer of your mailing, check the option Extend email background to the footer.

Change the background colour and border of the content block

To change the background and border colour of the footer's content block (i.e., the block where the footer text is located), make sure to uncheck the No colour option. Then enter the hexadecimal code of the desired colour directly into the Background and Border colour fields or click on the squares to open the colour pickers.

The text in your email footer contains important information to comply with Canada's anti-spam law (CASL). Be sure to choose a background colour with a sufficient contrast ratio with your text and links.

Adjust the spacing

To add or remove spacing between the footer text and the left or right margin of the template (depending on the alignment of the footer template you choose), check or uncheck the Interior margin option.

To modify or complete the contact information of your organization in the footer of your mailings, go to IconeSettings > Email content > Email footer . Don't forget to save your template before leaving the editor. The changes will then be applied to all future scheduled mailings.
