How to use themes for block consistency

Zaymo themes allow you to set default styling for blocks across all your emails, ensuring consistent branding without having to manually format each block every time you create a new email.

What are themes?

Themes are pre-configured styling settings that you can apply to blocks in your Zaymo account. Once you create a theme, any new blocks you add will automatically use that theme's formatting, including colors, fonts, button styles, and other design elements.

Creating and managing themes

To create or edit a theme, navigate to Settings > Global Theme.

From there, you can:

• Create a new theme with custom styling

• Edit existing themes

• Set a default theme for specific block types

Once a theme is applied to a block type, all future instances of that block will automatically use the theme's styling.

Key benefits

• Save time: Stop recreating the same block formatting for every email

• Brand consistency: Ensure all your emails maintain a cohesive look and feel

• Easy updates: Change your theme settings once to update the default style for all future blocks

Known limitations

When using themes, keep in mind the following limitations:

• Not retroactive: Themes only apply to blocks created after the theme is set. Existing blocks in previously created emails will not be updated automatically

• Template duplication: If you duplicate a pre-existing email template, the blocks in that template will retain their original formatting rather than adopting the current theme settings

• Unable to create multiple themes: We currently only support one theme at a time right now. We are working on a solution to have multiple themes.

• Limited to 5 blocks: product block, subscription portal, action button, swap up, and reactivate

To apply your current theme to blocks in duplicated templates, you'll need to manually update the block styling.
