Overview
Use an Email template to dynamically generate an HTML email. Ideal for transactional emails.
Watch this video recorded with the awesome Planet No Code team to see how it works.
MJML
Creating html emails that work across various devices and email clients is a very tricky task.
We've built Comnoco's email generation on top of the MJML library so that it works well across all devices and clients.
This means there are many resources that will help you build great emails, some are listed below:
- MJML Slack
- MJML FAQs
- MJML Documentation
- MJML Templates - you can import these or any MJML file into Comnoco
- MJML Tips and Tricks
Logic
You can use data passed in from a logix file to build dynamic emails, just define an input parameter (we recommend a Data Structure) so that the callong function can pass it in.
You will then be able to map data from your parameter(s) and you will also be able to add loops and logic to your email blocks. e.g. You can output a row once for every item a customer has bought.
Refreshing
Emails are rendered within Comnoco's backend so every change you make is sent to the backend to render an return. This can lead to a lot of refreshes in the user interface, you can disable auto refreshing if you like.
