# Emails: Using HTML Element in Emails

The HTML element enables you to create customized emails using HTML, allowing for tailored text, links, tables, and formatting options like spacing, font color, and size. It offers greater customization compared to the Text element. [Additional resources](https://21554971.hs-sites.com/en/knowledge-base/using-html-elements-to-your-survey?hsLang=en) can provide further guidance on common HTML elements. ![](https://support.enrollnow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-14-2025-09-00-55-6711-PM.png?width=670&height=200&name=image-png-Mar-14-2025-09-00-55-6711-PM.png)
