Pro Mailer - Markup question

[toni]

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure where this post fits best. I hope here is okay. I am planning to implement a newsletter with ProMailer. As far as I understand, ProMailer sends an existing page, which means that the page can be used for sending and for viewing in the browser, correct?
My idea was to write 90's table markup as newsletter clients are very picky. However, the documentation names 

• Foundation for Emails
• MJML (Mail Jet Markup Language)
• Maizzle
• Cerberus

as possible (CSS) frameworks. My question is, does anyone have experience with one of them? Can one of them be used to use markup for the browser and email client at the same time? Is one perhaps used for the Processwire newsletter?

Best regards

Toni

You can try to use my module https://processwire.com/modules/page-mjml-to-html/

It allows you to write your newsletter’s template using the MJML syntax and get it converted into proper HTML when viewing a page (and also when sending via ProMailer). Please have a look and if you happen to have an issue, don’t hesitate to share it here

Oh wow @monollonom thanks you so much! But from what I read I then are forced to use Mailjet? As I will need an API key? I already have a mailserver in place that I would use for sendout.

Fortunately you don’t have to use Mailjet to receive and use a MJML API key 🙂

You just have to give your email address to receive your API key and that’s it. For now it’s free and it’s been so for a while, let’s hope it stays that way.

Both are great choices for responsive email design. MJML, in particular, is known for its simplicity and can be used to generate markup that works well across different email clients and browsers. It's designed to be email-client-friendly, which might make it ideal for your needs. Writing a dissertation is a daunting task, but https://academized.com/dissertation-writing-service made the process so much easier for me. Their writers are experts in academic writing, and the dissertation they delivered was nothing short of perfect. It was thoroughly researched, well-structured, and followed all the guidelines I provided. The communication throughout the process was excellent, and they were always open to revisions. The final product exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for their help. I highly recommend their services to anyone struggling with their dissertation.

How is everything now?

Edit: Thank you for the update.

Hi @SamanthaWalker In the end I took an easy path and ended up with two templates. One for mail sending which is actually a cerberus markup and another for web rendering with common browser css. I choose the one or the other based on the get var processwire automaticully sets with promailer.
