Composing & Editing Release Emails

In Play MPE v8 you are now able to design and compose content for release emails entirely using web tools in Releases. Upload album images, attachments, write, copy and paste text, links, and images, and assemble in layout engine. Then preview to select email addresses to see the result.

Working with Email builder

  • After Creating a release and adding Owner label and audio asset, click Continue to enter the release's Email Builder.

Email builder components

The Email Builder web tool is separated into three components. The top section contains common email elements you will see as a recipient: Sender name, Sender's email and Subject.


Below that on the left side is the Layout design showing how all elements are assembled visually.


To the right is a menu of elements that every email can include and where you can edit the content.


By editing the Element "blocks" and adding them to the layout on the left, you determine the content and look of the email. 

By default, the email design already includes certain components like the Labels, Open Release Button, Release Details and Track List. The remainder of the elements are optional. 

Modifying layout in the release email

You can arrange the elements within the email layout by dragging the elements up and down in rows. For more on this, read:
