Build the single-property design

  1. 1

    Choose the template

    Single-property composer > Template

    Preview Modern, Bold, Editorial, and Minimal with the actual property.

    Expected result: The selected template renders the intended information hierarchy.

    If this step does not work

    If controls are missing, confirm this is an Individual property campaign rather than Multiple properties.

    Single-property Email Blast composer with property content and template controls.
    Build the campaign around one property, verify the template hierarchy, and preview all property and broker content.
  2. 2

    Choose the campaign colors

    Single-property composer > Colors

    Choose readable brand colors.

    Expected result: Desktop and mobile preview show the selected color palette with clear contrast.

    If this step does not work

    If text becomes hard to read over imagery or backgrounds, increase contrast or choose a simpler template.

  3. 3

    Choose the title font

    Single-property composer > Typography > Title font

    Choose the font for campaign headings.

    Expected result: The preview applies the selected font to the title hierarchy.

    If this step does not work

    If headings become hard to scan, choose a simpler title font.

  4. 4

    Choose the body font

    Single-property composer > Typography > Body font

    Choose the font for paragraphs and supporting copy.

    Expected result: The preview applies the selected font to body content.

    If this step does not work

    If paragraphs become hard to read, choose a simpler body font.

  5. 5

    Open editable property content

    Live preview > editable overview or highlights

    Select the editable overview or highlight.

    Expected result: The inline editor opens for the selected content.

    If this step does not work

    If the content is not editable, correct the source property document instead.

  6. 6

    Correct the property wording

    Live preview > inline editor

    Enter the source-verified wording.

    Expected result: The inline editor shows the revised property narrative.

    If this step does not work

    Do not change a factual value without checking its source.

  7. 7

    Commit the property wording

    Live preview > inline editor > commit control

    Commit the inline change.

    Expected result: The preview and autosaved draft show the revised property narrative.

    If this step does not work

    If a source fact is wrong outside the editable area, correct the property document and reopen or refresh the campaign.

  8. 8

    Choose campaign sections

    Composer > Sections

    Enable only useful available sections.

    Expected result: The preview contains no empty, repetitive, or irrelevant sections.

    If this step does not work

    If an expected section is absent, confirm this is an Individual property campaign.

  9. 9

    Choose property metrics

    Composer > property metrics

    Select the facts that support the message.

    Expected result: The preview shows only relevant property facts.

    If this step does not work

    If an expected metric is absent, verify the source document type and property data. Do not type a substitute into an unrelated field.

  10. 10

    Order the gallery

    Composer > Gallery

    Keep Automatic for the first four images, or select photos in the exact desired order up to the four-photo cap.

    Expected result: The gallery label shows the selected count and preview follows that order.

    If this step does not work

    At the cap, remove one image before choosing another. Reorder by clearing and selecting in the desired sequence if no drag control is offered.

  11. 11

    Review website-link eligibility

    Composer > Website link

    Read the complete availability state.

    Expected result: The composer identifies whether Listing Hub and the selected property support the CTA.

    If this step does not work

    If the state is unavailable or unknown, verify the listing before changing the control.

  12. 12

    Enable the eligible website link

    Composer > Website link

    Enable the CTA only when the selected property is published in an active Listing Hub.

    Expected result: Preview shows a valid public property link.

    If this step does not work

    If ineligible, publish and verify the listing first or omit the CTA. Do not paste an unverified route.

Verify the final design and recover source issues

Single-property design check

  • Subject is specific and no more than 300 characters.
  • Template, colors, and fonts remain readable.
  • Overview and highlights match the current source.
  • Only useful sections are enabled.
  • Gallery has no more than four images and the order is intentional.
  • Property metrics use correct units and transaction context.
  • Website CTA resolves publicly when enabled.
  • Desktop, Mobile, and full preview were checked.
The gallery ignores another click

Likely cause: A manual gallery already contains four images.

  1. Check the selected-count label.
  2. Remove an unwanted image.
  3. Select the replacement in the intended final order.
An image or property fact is wrong

Likely cause: The composer is drawing from the completed source document.

  1. Save the draft.
  2. Correct the source document or image order.
  3. Return and verify refreshed campaign content before sending.
The website link is unavailable

Likely cause: Listing Hub is disabled, the property is not published, or status could not be confirmed.

  1. Open the property publication controls.
  2. Publish only if intended.
  3. Retry availability.
  4. Leave the CTA off until a public check succeeds.
Mobile preview is crowded

Likely cause: Copy, sections, or image choices create an overly long or dense message.

  1. Shorten the introduction.
  2. Remove lower-priority sections.
  3. Use fewer stronger images.
  4. Check all links again in Mobile preview.
