Connecting your content marketing directly to your newsletter keeps your readers engaged and drives consistent traffic back to your website. In Grigora, you can craft beautiful article feature cards and editorial digest roundups using modular building blocks (Columns, Image, Heading, Text, and Button) or draft content digests using the AI designer.
This guide explains how to design article cards, build multi-article digest grids, and link directly to your website posts.
How Article Cards Work in Grigora
Grigora uses a flexible, modular design approach. Rather than restricting you to a rigid template, you combine core blocks to create customized article feature cards that match your brand perfectly:
Image block: Displays your article's featured thumbnail or hero graphic with a direct link to the blog post.
Heading block: Displays the article headline with customizable typography and alignment.
Text block: Displays the article excerpt or summary with in-place rich text formatting.
Button block: Provides a clear Call-to-Action (e.g., "Read Full Post", "Continue Reading →") linking directly to the published article on your website.
Columns block: Displays 2 or 3 articles side-by-side in a multi-column digest grid.
Step-by-Step: Featuring a Single Blog Post
To highlight a new article or major guide in your newsletter:
Open your campaign in Step 3 (Design).
Under the Blocks tab (
+ Blocks) in the left side panel, drag an Image block onto the canvas.Double-click the image placeholder to select your article cover photo from your media library or upload a graphic.
In the left side panel under Link, enter the full URL of your published blog post so clicking the image opens the article.
Drag a Heading block below the image, double-click to enter your article title, and choose a heading level (e.g., H2).
Drag a Text block below the heading and paste an engaging excerpt or teaser summary.
Drag a Button block below the text, double-click to label it (e.g., "Read Full Story"), and set its destination URL in the left side panel to your article link.
Building Multi-Article Digest Grids
To feature multiple recent articles side-by-side in a weekly or monthly digest:
From the + Blocks tab, drag a Columns block onto your canvas.
In the left side panel, choose 2 or 3 columns from the dropdown.
Drag an Image block into each column for article thumbnails.
Drag a Heading block into each column for article titles.
Drag a Text block into each column for short teaser excerpts.
Drag a Button block into each column with direct links to each individual article.
Responsive Mobile Stacking
When you build a multi-column article digest, Grigora automatically optimizes the layout for smartphones:
Stack on mobile: Columns automatically collapse into a vertical stack on small screens so readers can easily browse articles on phones without side-scrolling.
Previewing: Click the Preview button in the top toolbar and switch to the Phone tab to verify how your article cards stack on mobile devices.
Drafting Content Roundups with AI
You can also use Grigora’s AI designer to draft article digest newsletters in seconds:
In the email composer (Step 3: Design), click the AI tab (
✨ AI) at the top of the left sidebar.In the prompt box, describe the articles you want to share (e.g., "Draft a monthly digest highlighting our 3 latest articles on productivity, remote work tips, and team collaboration. Include short teaser summaries and 'Read More' buttons.").
Select your preferred tone and click Draft the email.
