Keyboard commands

Mixmax supports a full menu of keyboard commands that   make your most common actions instantaneous. With keyboard commands, you can quickly access the enhancement menu, templates, and sequences all from a compose window.

Slash Commands for Enhancements

For email enhancements (anything found under the “Enhance” menu), just type  / (slash) on a new line to get a full menu of smart commands. Below you'll see a comprehensive list of all the different slash commands Mixmax offers out of the box.
