What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Have you established a business automation workflow? If you’re committed to running an efficient operation that fires on all cylinders, you should be embracing automation at every level of your workflow. Automation is no longer the future - it’s here now. Failing to make use of workflow automation tools will leave your business running at a disadvantage.


The inefficiencies of not utilizing a business automation workflow are costing organizations 20-30% of their annual revenue. This is a staggering statistic that stresses the importance of testing automation tools to see how they can optimize your existing workflow. If you have no intention of using automation tools, you could be missing out on tremendous revenue growth.


At the heart of most organizations, there are serious inefficiencies that create bottlenecks and slow down productivity. To address these issues, you need access to workflow automation software that has the power to streamline processes and unlock the hidden potential of your workforce. A workflow should never get in the way of providing exceptional customer service.


When your workflow is preventing you from delivering strong customer experiences, this must be addressed. To drive efficiency across the workforce, you should tap into the potential of automation. There’s often an assumption that the implementation of automation tools is highly technical. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

What is a business automation workflow?


A business automation workflow can often be the difference between satisfied and dissatisfied customers. Is your existing workflow causing a strain on customer relationships? Is the speed at which you operate creating frustration for some customers? If this is the case, you must do everything you can to optimize your workflow around customer satisfaction.


If you want to keep up with the customer experiences provided by other service businesses, workflow automation isn’t a choice - it’s a necessity. You simply cannot afford to neglect the upside potential of a business automation workflow. A business automation workflow defines a series of tasks to complete a process and then removes all the manual steps for completion.


To successfully optimize around better customer experiences, you need to remove the manual steps involved in repetitive tasks, such as administration. If you no longer had to manually go from A to B with a specific task, how much time would you save? This is why the potential of workflow automation is too good to be ignored and could radically transform your business.

Why does workflow automation matter?


Fundamentally, workflow automation can accelerate the speed of your operations. The faster you operate, the quicker you can deliver for your customers. According to Statistica, 12% of Americans rate their number one frustration with customer service as lack of speed. On average, it takes 12 positive customer experiences to make up for one negative experience.


If you want to inspire customer retention and build an army of future advocates, you must have the tools and systems in place to deliver strong customer experiences. When you consider how much it takes to make up for a single negative experience, there’s little room for error. Workflow automation can help to accelerate the speed behind customer experiences.


“We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.” (Jeff Bezos)
