How to Edit Mobile Email Format in GoHighLevel
Many teams move from tools like ClickUp into a full marketing stack, and one of the most important steps is making sure every campaign email looks great on mobile. In this guide, you will learn exactly how to edit your mobile email format in GoHighLevel using the Appearance tab so your messages stay clear, readable, and professional on any screen.
Following the steps below, you can control fonts, padding, and responsive behavior inside the drag-and-drop email builder, ensuring your design adapts correctly on phones and tablets.
Accessing the GoHighLevel Email Builder
Before you change the mobile email format, you need to open the email builder in GoHighLevel from the correct area of your account. The process is straightforward and always starts inside a specific campaign or template.
-
Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
-
Navigate to the part of the platform where your email is stored (for example, Campaigns, Workflows, or Marketing Emails).
-
Open the email you want to edit, or create a new email using the drag-and-drop builder.
-
Once the email builder loads, you are ready to adjust its mobile appearance.
Opening the Appearance Tab in GoHighLevel
The Appearance tab is where you manage global styling, including settings that affect how your email displays on mobile devices. Instead of styling each element individually, you can use the Appearance tab in GoHighLevel to apply consistent design rules.
-
Inside the email builder, locate the right-hand panel.
-
Click on the Appearance tab to open the global style settings.
-
Review the sections such as typography, colors, and spacing, which influence both desktop and mobile layouts.
Changes made here will cascade across your email, which is why this is the best place to configure mobile readability and spacing.
Using Mobile View in the GoHighLevel Editor
To properly edit the mobile format, you should preview your email in a mobile frame directly inside GoHighLevel. This helps you see how text, images, and buttons respond to small screens before sending.
-
Look for the device preview icons at the top of the email builder.
-
Click the mobile icon to switch the preview from desktop to mobile view.
-
Scroll through the email to check how each section looks on a smaller screen.
-
Keep the mobile view active as you adjust settings in the Appearance tab so you can see real-time changes.
Working in mobile preview while using the Appearance tab ensures that your edits truly improve the mobile layout instead of only affecting the desktop version.
Adjusting Global Styles for Mobile in GoHighLevel
The global styles in GoHighLevel play a large role in how your message appears on mobile. Using the Appearance tab, you can control general design settings that trickle down to individual content blocks.
Set Mobile-Friendly Typography in GoHighLevel
Font choices and sizing can determine whether your email is easy to read on a phone. Within the Appearance panel, you can define your main text hierarchy.
-
Choose a clean, web-safe font for body text.
-
Adjust font size for headings and body text until everything is easily readable in mobile preview.
-
Set line height so that lines are not cramped on small screens.
-
Set font color with enough contrast against the background for good accessibility.
Use the mobile preview to check that longer paragraphs do not look dense and that headings remain clear.
Optimize Spacing and Padding for Mobile in GoHighLevel
Too much spacing can force users to scroll excessively, while too little can make content feel cramped. In GoHighLevel, the Appearance tab lets you fine-tune padding and margins globally.
-
Open spacing options inside the Appearance settings.
-
Lower excessive top and bottom padding on sections so that content is tighter but still readable on mobile.
-
Ensure there is enough left and right padding so text does not touch the edges of the screen.
-
Check spacing around buttons and images to maintain clear tap targets on mobile.
As you tweak these values, always keep the mobile preview active and scroll through the entire message to confirm consistency.
Configure Backgrounds and Colors in GoHighLevel
Backgrounds that look good on desktop may feel too heavy or busy on mobile. Through the Appearance tab in GoHighLevel, you can simplify colors for better readability.
-
Select a simple section background color that contrasts with your text.
-
Avoid overly bright or patterned backgrounds behind long paragraphs.
-
Use consistent heading and link colors so users easily recognize important elements.
If your design looks cluttered on mobile, start by simplifying colors and backgrounds at the global level.
Editing Individual Blocks After Global GoHighLevel Changes
Once the global mobile appearance is in place, move to individual sections and blocks to refine details that the Appearance tab does not fully control.
-
Click on a specific content block, such as a text block, image, or button.
-
Use the block-level settings to adjust alignment and spacing for that element.
-
Shorten long headlines if they wrap poorly in the mobile view.
-
Resize images so they do not push important content too far down the screen.
Keep saving your changes and re-checking both desktop and mobile previews in GoHighLevel to maintain a balanced layout.
Testing Your Mobile Email Format in GoHighLevel
After you finish editing the mobile format, testing is critical before you send your campaign to contacts. GoHighLevel provides tools that help you verify the final layout in real inboxes.
-
Use the Preview option to review the full email in both desktop and mobile modes.
-
Send a test email to multiple email apps on your own devices (for example, Gmail on Android and Apple Mail on iOS).
-
Check font sizes, padding, link tap targets, and image loading speed on each device.
-
Return to the Appearance tab to make final refinements if something does not display correctly.
Spending a few extra minutes here ensures that your contacts always see a polished, professional email no matter what phone they use.
Best Practices for Mobile Email Design in GoHighLevel
While the Appearance tab lets you control technical formatting, some general design guidelines will help you build consistently strong mobile emails in GoHighLevel.
-
Keep subject lines and preview text short and focused.
-
Use short paragraphs and bullet lists to break up content.
-
Place the main call-to-action high in the email so mobile readers see it quickly.
-
Limit the number of fonts and colors for a clean look.
-
Compress large images before uploading to improve load times on cellular networks.
Combining these best practices with the mobile controls in the Appearance tab leads to emails that perform better and feel more professional.
