Is there an easy way to add email template support?
hey guys,
a tool I'm working on is a webinar tool and I'd like my customers to easily be able to create custom email templates/messaging (or perhaps use their own) to send out.
It should be some kind of WYSISWG editor - I don't see the point in reinventing the wheel. Is there a tool/api that already does this or makes it easier to integrate my customers' existing mailchimp/campaign monitor templates?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

- patio11 12y agoWe have a button for this in Appointment Reminder. If I recall correctly, the implementation pops a modal and says "Sure thing, we can get any email template you want set up for you. Send it to support@ and we'll get it ready within a day or so." I've done this a grand total of once, so didn't spent 3 months building out the rest of the feature. I use the same trick for doing data import. I'd love to get that working in an actually automated fashion, because it does get used pretty frequently, but unfortunately arbitrary column-to-column mapping UIs are hard to do well.

- 24x7 12y agohey, it's been great listening to your talks online at microconf! any chance you could detail this some more? do you end up asking for their mailchimp credentials? what if they want to make changes to the page?
- patio11 12y agoAlthough I'm not opposed to that in principle, "forward me any email you've ever sent and I'll make ours look like that" seems like it is easier for all parties.

- 24x7 12y agohmmm, I looked into sendwithus earlier as they are local to me. The twist to my challenge is that I'd like my customers to be able to access their OWN mandrill/mailchimp/campaign monitor accounts and use the existing templates/workflows they already have. Is there a way this can be done with sendwithus that I might have missed?
