Use the Build Your Own tab to drop in a flexible, empty section anywhere in your email layout. Choose from common layouts like single, two, or three columns, then customize the padding and add your own content: text, images, buttons, and more. You can add an empty section at any time to build out your design from scratch.
Building with Claude or Codex? Let the agent choose from your published Email Love components. It should not draw its own Wrapper, Section, or Column structure. If no component fits, ask it to stop and show you the gap. See Build Emails in Figma with Claude or Codex.

Steps to Add an Empty Section

1

Select your Email Frame

Select it in Figma to activate the plugin’s layout options.
2

Open the Build Your Own tab

Find it in the Email Love plugin sidebar.
3

Choose a layout type

  • Single Column
  • Two Column
  • Three Column
  • Four Column
  • or a Hero Section with a background image
4

Customize the padding

Once selected, you’ll be prompted to customize the padding around the new section using simple visual controls.
5

Click Add New Component

This inserts your empty section into the design.
This creates a new mj-wrapper containing an mj-section and the appropriate number of mj-columns based on the layout you chose.

Adding More Layers

  • To add a new Section: Select the Wrapper, then choose another layout from the plugin.
  • To add a Column: Select the Section and insert a new Column to adjust your layout structure.
  • To add content: Select a Column and insert elements like:
    • Text
    • Images
    • Buttons
    • Dividers
    • Spacers
    • Tables
    • Navigation
    • Social Icons
This modular structure lets you build custom email layouts with total flexibility. Great for both quick iterations and fully tailored designs.

Diagnose a Structure Problem with an Agent

Claude or Codex can inspect the hierarchy without changing your file:
Use the Email Love agent setup first, or see Get Help from Claude or Codex for a complete diagnosis workflow.
