Rich text editor
Format snippets with headings, lists, tables, links, images, and more, and keep that formatting when they expand.
Turn on Rich / Dynamic Value on a snippet (or Rich / Dynamic Content on a Block) to write with the rich text editor. It gives you real formatting, and it’s where you add the pills that make a snippet dynamic.
Formatting
The toolbar has what you’d expect from a modern editor:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text style | Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Code, Code block |
| Font and size | Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Courier New, and more, from 8 to 48 px |
| Colors | Text color and Highlight, each with a reset |
| Emphasis | Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, and Clear text formatting |
| Alignment | Left, center, right, and justify |
| Lists and more | Bullet list, Numbered list, Quote, Horizontal line |
| Links | Web, mailto:, and tel: links, with or without an underline |
| Images | Insert by HTTPS link, or upload a GIF, JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 10 MB |
| Tables | Data tables, or Borderless layout tables for side-by-side columns |
| Cards | A box with its own background, padding, border, and corners |
Uploaded images are resized to at most 1,200 pixels wide and compressed, so your snippets stay light. Click an image to set its size, alignment, border, corners, alt text, or a link.
Add Fields, Smart Fields, and Blocks
This is where the editor shines. You can add three kinds of pills:
- Type
{{to pick a Field, a Smart Field, a calculation, an If / Else, a key press, or a Click. - Type
@to pick a Block. This works in snippets; Blocks can’t contain other Blocks. - Or use the Insert field menu in the toolbar, which groups everything: Basic Fields, Calculations, Conditions, Custom Fields, the Smart Fields by category, like Page and Date & Time, Key Presses, Mouse Actions, and each add-on’s fields under its name, like HubSpot.
Pills look like small labels in your text. When the snippet is inserted, each pill is replaced with its value.
Pill settings
Click a pill to open its settings:
- Alias: A display name for this pill only. If you use the same Field twice, SimpleFill names the copies for you, like Name 2.
- Transforms: Steps that reshape the value before it goes in, run top to bottom. See Transforms.
- Field settings: For a one-off Basic Field, its type, default, and options.
- Link fields: Make two pills share one value, so you only fill it in once.
Click Save changes when you’re done.
Basic Fields: one-off blanks
For a blank only one snippet needs, choose Insert field > Basic Fields instead of creating a Custom Field. It lives only inside this snippet. See Basic and Custom Fields.
What can’t go in rich content
For safety, SimpleFill keeps a known set of formatting and strips anything else when you save: scripts, forms, embedded frames, and links to unsafe addresses never make it into a snippet. Images must use HTTPS or be uploaded.
