Add custom widgets to message templates

Scope

 In addition to the standard MVC widgets that you use when working with email campaign templates, you can add new custom MVC widgets or extend the built-in content widgets based on MVC.
For more information about developing MVC widgets, see Create and register widgets and Modify built-in widgets.

The section below describes how to add or modify Grid widgets in the Layout toolbox. With the Layout toolbox, you create and modify message templates by applying the available grid widgets and customizing the inline styles. Thus, you modify the message template that you have opened for editing individually.

Based on the specifics of your scenario, you may need to modify any of these grid widgets. Note that it is only possible to set inline styles of the sf_colsIn elements in the available grid widgets.
