# Emails

> Write a branded email from a template and a brief, preview it as a real person, test it, and send it.

An **email** is the finished message you send. It holds its subject and preheader, the message body, and a record of what it was built from. It is the third layer of [email](https://docs.allgoodhq.com/mk/content/email/index.md), built from a [template](https://docs.allgoodhq.com/mk/content/email/templates/index.md) that is built from [components](https://docs.allgoodhq.com/mk/content/email/components/index.md).
