Generate Images in Dyspatch Instantly: Accessibility and Speed
Generate Images Instantly with AI
Generate custom images directly in Dyspatch with Scribe AI. Whether you're building a new campaign from scratch or refreshing existing content, simply describe what you need, select a preferred style, and watch Dyspatch bring your vision to life in seconds.
No more endless scrolling through stock libraries, no more settling for "close enough," and no more context-switching between tools. Scribe AI will create precisely what you need, without you ever leaving the Dyspatch Email Builder. Perfect for fast-moving campaigns and filling content gaps when design resources are stretched thin.
Automatically Generated Alt Text
Accessibility just became effortless. Every image you upload now gets intelligent alt text automatically generated and appended, ensuring your emails reach everyone while boosting deliverability and accessibility compliance.
We know writing descriptive alt text for every image can be time-consuming and it's often the first thing to slip through the cracks during a busy campaign push. Not anymore:
- Scribe AI analyzes each image as you upload it, crafting meaningful, contextual descriptions that screen readers can interpret for visually impaired subscribers
- This isn't just good practice, it's essential for inclusive marketing, helps you meet accessibility standards, and can even improve your email performance with certain ISPs.
The best part is that it happens instantly and invisibly. Upload your image and the alt text is already there. You can review it, refine it, or leave it as-is. Either way, you're building more accessible emails by default, not as an afterthought.
Organization level Brand Guidelines
Scribe's brand, tone, and voice guidelines are now configurable via the Admin Dashboard. Paste existing marketing copy to extract your existing tone and personality. Include an intended audience and ensure your customers feel heard.
Multiple guidelines can be created for different brand voices, and only the default guideline will be active and influence content generated by brief to email and the subject line and preheader generator.
Prevent Loner Words in Titles and Text
Say goodbye to awkward single words on their own line. Using prevent loner words will automatically create a non-breaking space between the first two and last two words of your content. Traditionally called widows and orphans, these typographical anomalies will be eliminated, keeping your copy crisp and professional.
Expanded Image Uploads
We've increased the upload limit from 3MB to 5MB, giving you the flexibility to upload higher-quality images without compromise. And, as always, our uploader also optimizes each image you add to your Dyspatch asset library, reducing your email size and boosting deliverability.
Email Builder Breadcrumbs
Easily see the location of any template while in the Dyspatch email builder! Just hover over the template's name to view its full path. A bonus easter egg: you can now copy the template's name to your clipboard by clicking it.

October Updates: Power features for builders
Reference a Module & Updates Sync Automatically
Using the new Import Block feature, you can define a reusable module once and reference it multiple times across your email design system. Create a product card, list item, or gallery element as an individual module, then call it in multiple templates. Then update the partial once and all unlocked instances update automatically.
This is a game-changer for block development. Instead of copying and pasting the same code structure throughout your block, you maintain a single source of truth.
Import Block dramatically reduces code duplication, eliminates the risk of inconsistent updates, and makes maintaining complex blocks significantly easier.
Benefits:
- Building more sophisticated, component-based layouts is now easier
- Simplifies long-term maintenance and updates across your email design system
- Ensures consistency across repeated elements
New to the Localizations tab
Commenting is now supported for localized content in External Links for every localized version of your template. This makes localize-specific feedback easier to find and quicker to act upon.
New Advanced Controls in Theme Editor
We’ve expanded the "Enable all editable styles for blocks" toggle in the Theme Editor to support middle-level granularity. Email designers can now control which editable styles are globally available for each DML element (row, column, button, text, etc.) without having to lock in these individual customizations at the block level.
When the toggle is enabled, all styles are available by default, and a new "Style Controls" tab allows you to disable specific styles per element. Block-level editable-style attributes still take highest precedence.
Benefits:
- Fine-tunes the email builder experience without maintenance overhead
- Keeps blocks more modular and theme independent
- Allows for more flexibility in your email design system and guardrails
API Updates
List variables used in a template Template and draft fetch calls now include the unique set of variables used in the template. Variables are pulled from dynamic content, static content, conditionals, and for loops. Filters are stripped from variables, so @{var|default("hi")} returns as var.
UTM Builder
Data-no-utm attribute extended The data-no-utm attribute can now be used to prevent the link-level UTM builder from showing in the Email Builder. This prevents users from accidentally creating broken links on buttons, links, or images that already include UTM parameters or query strings in dynamic variables.
SMS
Duplicate variants in SMS SMS message variants can now be duplicated for faster workflow iteration.
September Updates: Dyspatch improvements to accelerate your email workflow
Advanced Logo Support in Themes

- Streamlined theme management for multi-brand organizations
Reserved theme variables can be called dynamically into any block, giving you increased reusability for the blocks in your email design system.
New ESP Integration: Listrak!
We've expanded our ESP and CRM integrations library with the addition of Listrak. Listrak is a powerful tool that is ideal for teams creating hyper personalized experiences. This integration includes:
- Full Listrak (Liquid) template compatibility
- New export option added to the download options list
Customer Profile Selection
When sending test emails, you can now select specific customer profiles to ensure personalization and dynamic content render correctly.
