Issue #158 All About Email

Hi, friend. 👋

Welcome to Issue #158 of All About Email!

Last week, I shared part three in our mini-series of the Email Love Figma Plugin → HTML Email Builder as we looked at some feature updates released after Parts One and Two in our series.

This week is the final part of our mini-series. We will briefly revisit the Export to Klaviyo feature, which we highlighted last week, and then I will take a more in-depth look at the plugin itself.

Let’s go! 👇

Figmal Plugin Walkthrough

I’ve been teasing this video since Part One and finally made it, LOL!

✋ Seriously, though, if you haven’t read Part One or don’t know what design components are in an email, you should do that before continuing with the rest of this email.

In the video below, I provide a quick walkthrough of converting a Figma design to HTML for email creation. I showcase setting up a new email design file, selecting components, adjusting styles, and exporting the final HTML code.

☕️ The video is only ten minutes long and easy to watch during your next tea/coffee break.

Go on, friend, you know you want to watch it now. 😉

Integrate with Klaviyo!

If you don’t have ten minutes, check out the other video I made for this email.

Yes! I made two videos. You are a lucky reader! 🤣

And this one is less than three minutes long. 👇

🚨 If you are using Klaviyo, your Public API key won’t work (or at least mine didn’t), so you will need to set up a Private API key with full permissions to these two endpoints only:

• Campaigns

• Templates

It’s not as scary as it sounds and very easy to set up. 👍

A Quick Question Before You Go

Actually, it’s a couple of questions…

🤔 Do you use a transactional email service?

My friend James asked this recently. 👇

After giving my answer of either Postmark or Mailjet, I came across these two services over the weekend:

• Resend

• Loops

Have you ever used or heard of these services friend?

💬 Reply to this email and let me know.

That’s it for this week 👋

⏭️ Next week, I’m not sure what’s been happening as it’s been quite a weekend and quite a day. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this email out.

Don’t forget friend, you can catch up on now on:

• Part One - Introduction to Figma, the plugin, Email Components and Design Systems.

• Part Two - Templates, Resources, Community, Help and Support.

• Part Three - A tighter integration with Email Love and updated Integrations for Klaviyo, Iterable and a new integration for Mailchimp.
