Adding a Chart Block
Drag the Chart block from the block palette into your email canvas. A default chart will appear. Use the sidebar editor to configure the chart type, data, and appearance.Chart Types
Three chart types are available:- Bar: Compare values across categories. Good for budget breakdowns, giving by fund, or monthly comparisons.
- Line: Show trends over time. Good for attendance trends, giving history, or growth metrics.
- Pie: Show proportions of a whole. Good for budget allocation, demographic breakdowns, or fund distribution.
Configuring Data
Data Series
Add one or more data series to your chart. Each series has:- Name: A label for the series (displayed in the chart legend)
- Color: A custom color for the series
Data Rows
Add rows of data to populate your chart. Each row includes:- Label: The category or time period (displayed on the axis or as a segment label)
- Values: One value per data series
Customization Options
Select the chart block to open its settings in the sidebar:- Dark Mode: Toggle between light and dark chart backgrounds
- Show Values (Pie charts only): Display data values on each pie segment
How It Renders
Charts are converted to images before the email is sent. This ensures they display correctly in every email client, including those that do not support interactive content. Recipients see a clean, static image of your chart.Tips
- Keep your data simple and focused. Charts in emails work best with a small number of data points that tell a clear story.
- Use bar charts for comparing categories, line charts for trends over time, and pie charts for showing how parts make up a whole.
- Charts are a great addition to finance reports, annual reports, quarterly giving updates, budget summaries, and attendance trend communications.
- Use descriptive labels so recipients can understand the chart at a glance without additional context.
