How to create a weather widget

Last updated October 30, 2026

The weather widget shows a live forecast in your email, created when the email is opened. Show the weather for one place (like your event venue) or each subscriber's own location.

Step 1: Create the widget

1. In the dashboard, open Tools and choose Weather widget.
2. Click Create New.
3. Choose a Widget type:
   • Primary Widget: a card with an optional header showing the city and "Weather forecast".
   • Inline Widget: a compact strip with one cell per day.

Step 2: Settings

On the Settings tab:

• Language for day names and the header. See how to change the language of your widgets.
• Location: search for a place, or turn on Set location dynamically to show each subscriber their own forecast. See how to show each subscriber their local weather.
• Dates: how many days (Full Week, 5 Day, 3 Day or 1 Day) and when the forecast starts. See how to set the forecast dates for a weather widget.
• Temperature: °C Celsius or °F Fahrenheit.

Step 3: Design

On the Customize tab:

• Show Accent Header and a Header Background preset, or your own image on Enterprise.
• Size, from X-Small to X-Large.
• Font and colors for week days, maximum and minimum temperatures, and the background.

Step 4: Save and add it to your email

Click Save, choose an alignment, click Copy Code and paste it into an HTML block in your email.

Good to know

• The forecast is created when the email is opened and can be up to an hour old.
• Forecasts cover up to 10 days ahead. Days without data show a dash.
• Without dynamic location or dates, don't add extra parameters to the code, or the image won't load.

Ideas

• The forecast for your event day, to help people plan.
• The weather at a traveler's destination in a pre-trip email.
• Rain gear when it's wet where the subscriber lives. Pair weather with other widgets in how to put one widget inside another.
