Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions can I include in one FAQ section?
While there is no fixed limit, it is recommended to keep each section to 3–6 questions for optimal readability. For longer lists, consider distributing FAQs across multiple emails.
Can I apply different styles to individual questions?
Yes, you can customize the appearance of each question and answer using the inline text editor, adjusting attributes like font size, weight, and color to emphasize specific content.
Is the FAQ Element mobile-friendly?
Yes, the element is fully responsive and automatically adjusts text wrapping, spacing, and padding to ensure a seamless experience on mobile devices.
Can I reuse my FAQ block in other templates?
Yes, you can duplicate the FAQ block or save it as a reusable section to maintain consistency across your email campaigns.
Note: The interactive behavior of the FAQ Element (such as collapsing/expanding answers) depends on the email client used by the recipient. Some clients, like certain versions of Outlook, may not support interactivity, in which case the FAQ will remain expanded and static.
