Streamline email creation and duplication with Blueprints
Blueprints in Dyspatch are pre-built, reusable starting points for your team to use when creating emails that need to look and function the same every time, on all devices.
Creating a blueprint is as straightforward as building an email in Dyspatch, with the added benefit of being reusable every time your team needs to create a new email.
Select Blueprints from the Dyspatch home page menu then click Create Blueprint. Name your blueprint and optionally add a description for your team.
In step 2, toggle on which themes you'd like to use this blueprint with.
Drag and drop blocks into your blueprint then style them the same way you would when building an email.
Many of the same features available for individual emails are also available for blueprints, such as:
When added to the blueprint, these attributes are automatically added to each new email created from the blueprint.
After choosing the workspace and theme for your new email you will be given a list of blueprints to select as a starting point.
Voila! Your blueprint is now an email, ready for you to update any copy or other assets as needed.
Why don't I have my blueprint as an option when I create a new email?
It's possible that the blueprint isn't enabled for the theme of your new email. Navigate to your blueprint and enable the correct theme from the Themes tab.
Can I bulk update a block used in a blueprint?
Bulk updates to blocks will be applied to an email created with a blueprint the same as any other email.
Can I bulk update emails created with a blueprint?
Any edits to your blueprint will not affect emails previously created with that blueprint.
Can I add a block to the blueprint that's not available in all of the blueprint's active themes?
If a block that does not have all the same themes active as the blueprint, you will be prompted with the option to either add the block to the blueprint and all the blueprint's themes, or to cancel adding the block to the blueprint.
Why don't I see a block in the blueprint builder that I know is in my account?
It's possible that the blueprint and the block don't have at least one active theme in common.
