The **marketplace** holds email series other people have published — welcome sequences, launches
and similar. When you take one, you get your own copy as ordinary [messages](/email/messages/),
rebuilt in your project's colours, that you edit and send like any other.

Find it under **Messages → New message → From the marketplace**.

## Browsing

1. Open **Messages** and select **New message**.
2. Choose **From the marketplace**. The **Marketplace** window opens.
3. Narrow the shelf:
   - **Search the marketplace** matches names and descriptions.
   - The categories on the left filter by kind of series; **All** shows everything.
   - The sort menu orders by **Featured**, **Newest** or **Most added**.

Each card shows the series' name and categories, marked **Free**. A series you've taken before
is badged **Added**.

## Looking at a series

Select a card to open the listing. It shows:

- The cover and, where the publisher provided them, a picture of each email.
- **Includes N emails** — the subject of each email in order. Select one to preview it.
- **Emails**, **Last update** and **Installs**.
- **Preview emails** (or **Preview email**), which opens the emails themselves, with arrows to
  move through the series.

Closing the listing takes you back to the shelf.

## Adding it to your messages

1. In the listing, select **Add all N to my messages** (**Add to my messages** for a single
   email). The button counts the emails as they're written.
2. When it's done, the series is in your **Messages** list, in its original order, and the
   message list refreshes.

Adding a series you already took makes another copy. The listing tells you so before you add it:
*"You have added this before — this makes another copy."*

If someone sends you a link to a listing, it opens on a page with the same preview and an
**Add to my messages** button; when it's done, **Messages** opens.

## What you get

| Part of the email | What happens to it |
| --- | --- |
| **Name and subject** | Copied from the series |
| **Body and layout** | Copied, with your project's colours and type |
| **Logo** | Replaced with the logo from your business details; left out if you haven't set one |
| **Footer** | Rebuilt from your own business details — the publisher's footer never comes across |
| **Pictures** | Copied into your own media library |

The messages open in the [Designed with AI](/email/design-with-ai/) editor, so you can change
them by clicking or by asking the AI. Editing by hand doesn't spend credits; asking the AI does.

They're your copies. If the publisher changes their listing later, your messages stay as they
are.

## Before you send them

A series is a starting point written for somebody else's business. Open each message and check:

- **The words** — names, offers, dates and anything that should be about your business.
- **Buttons and links** — point every one at your own pages. **Before you send** in the editor
  flags buttons with no destination.
- **Pictures** — if some couldn't be copied, a message says how many: *"They still show, but they
  live on the sharer's site. Worth replacing."*
- **Merge fields** — a listing that uses them names them (*"Uses …"*). Make sure you have those
  values for most of your contacts.
- **Subject and preview line** — in **⋯ → Email settings**.

Then put the messages to work: send one as a [broadcast](/email/broadcasts/), or chain them in an
[automation](/email/automations/) with waits between the steps.

## Things worth knowing

- **Taking a series is free.** It costs no credits; only asking the AI to change the emails
  afterwards does.
- **A series arrives as separate messages.** The marketplace doesn't create an automation for
  you — build the sequence yourself, or start from an automation template and pick these
  messages in its **Send email** steps.
- **Nothing is sent when you add a series.** The messages sit in your list until you use them.
