FAQs
Can I use my existing HTML email templates?
Section titled “Can I use my existing HTML email templates?”Yes! Modular Mail is designed to work with any well-formed HTML email. You just need to split your existing file into a Header, Footer, and Modules, and then add the mm- attributes to define editable regions.
Does Modular Mail send the emails for me?
Section titled “Does Modular Mail send the emails for me?”No. Modular Mail is a tool for building and editing email templates. You still need an Email Service Provider (ESP) like Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc., to manage your subscriber lists and send the final campaign. You export the HTML from Modular Mail and import it into your ESP.
What happens if I change a template after creating a campaign?
Section titled “What happens if I change a template after creating a campaign?”Changes to a template (e.g., updating the code of a module) do not affect existing campaigns. Campaigns are created as a “snapshot” of the template at that moment. This ensures a template change won’t accidentally break a campaign you’ve already finished. Any new campaigns will use the updated template.
Do I need to know how to code to use Modular Mail?
Section titled “Do I need to know how to code to use Modular Mail?”It depends on your role.
- For marketers and content creators: No. If someone has set up a template for you, using the campaign editor is a code-free experience. You just click to edit and drag to reorder.
- For template creators: Yes. To create the templates themselves, you need to be proficient in HTML and CSS, specifically for email development.
