Loading a template
- Create a new email or click Templates in the editor
- Select a template; it loads into the canvas
- Click any block to customize text, colors, images, and links
- All templates are fully editable: add, remove, or rearrange any block
AI-assisted design
The editor includes a GPT-4.1 powered AI assistant (chat overlay):
What it can do
| Request | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Generate from scratch | "Create a welcome email for SaaS users" | Complete email with hero, features, CTA |
| Modify blocks | "Make the header background blue" | Updates the specific block's styles |
| Write copy | "Write a subject line for a Black Friday sale" | Suggests multiple options |
| Add sections | "Add a footer with social media links" | Inserts new blocks |
| Restructure | "Make this a two-column layout" | Rearranges the block structure |
Using the AI
- Click the AI chat icon in the editor
- Type your request in natural language
- The AI generates or modifies blocks on the canvas
- Review and adjust as needed
The AI streams its response via SSE (Server-Sent Events); you see changes appear in real-time on the canvas.
Export
JSON export
Save the template as a JSON file for:
- Re-importing into TinyEmails later
- Version control (store templates in git)
- Sharing templates between workspaces
HTML export
Export the rendered HTML for use with any email provider:
| Provider | How to use |
|---|---|
| Amazon SES | Paste HTML into SES template or send via API |
| SendGrid | Use as dynamic template content |
| Mailchimp | Paste into custom HTML template editor |
| Postmark | Use as transactional email template |
| Any SMTP | Send the HTML as the email body |
The exported HTML is:
- Responsive (works on mobile and desktop)
- Email client compatible (tested with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail)
- Inlined styles (no external CSS dependencies)
TinyEmails is a template builder, not a sending platform. It doesn't send emails directly, manage subscriber lists, or track opens/clicks. Use TinyWorkflows' Send Email action or an external provider for sending.
Use the AI assistant to generate a first draft quickly, then manually refine the design. It's much faster than building from scratch, especially for complex layouts with columns and images.
