📢 Announcement:  Xponent Journey Hub, Bill Explainer, and Xponent Communication Control April 2026 (26.1) Release Notes are now available – Check out the latest updates published on April 2026.

Email Message Editing Stage and Properties Panel

Prev Next

The Xponent Communications Control (XCC) template creation area contains two main components: the main message Stage in the center and the Properties Panel on the left.

EditorWindow

You generally drag and drop content elements onto the Stage and then edit their properties. This is true for entire structures (for example, a single-column row) and individual content blocks (for example, a text content block).

The Properties Panel contains three sections:

  • CONTENT: This is where you choose and edit specific content elements that make up your message: buttons, images, and text blocks, for example.

  • ROWS: Here you can select different structural elements (e.g. a single-column vs. three-column row) to organize your content.

  • SETTINGS: This is where you define some overall settings that affect the entire message – for example, a default font family.

Convert to/Create New

Click + icon to access the features for converting an email template to SMS or creating templates for different channels.

Convert to

The Convert to SMS feature allows you to convert an email template into an SMS template with a single click using Generative AI.

The system automatically summarizes the email content, focusing on the most important information and preserving key variables, to generate a 160-character compliant SMS message.

Only the alphanumeric content will be included, excluding any multimedia such as images or videos. The converted SMS template will be saved with the same name as the original email template and grouped together for easy access.

Note

We recommend reviewing the SMS template after conversion to ensure it aligns with your intended message, especially for time-sensitive or compliance-critical notifications.

Create New

This feature allows users to create templates for different channels, such as SMS and MMS, using the same name as an existing Email template within the template editor.

The newly created templates are blank but can be easily populated by copying content from other templates.

Each channel template opens in a new tab, and all templates with the same name are grouped together on the dashboard for streamlined organization.

Note  Using one Email template, you can create only one SMS template and one MMS template with the same name. Once these templates are created, the + icon will no longer be available. To create a new template with a similar name, you must delete the existing one first.
