Hi Duncan and all others here,
I am new in community.
Working on my home page with sitely and learning sitely with the help of your tutorials, I asked myself if there is a way to create also an email template in the same stile of my future homepage.
Reading your comment in the past and others on that topic, you made clear that sitely lays focus on web side. Ok, got it.
But I have to insist a little bit.
Is their a way to export email elements like signature, header… in html from sitely. So that I can use them in my email app (Spike)?
Email templates are somewhat different to web pages, hence why website builders are not particularly good for this type of application. Fortunately, there is a simple and free option you could use instead.
You can start by creating the look and layout of your html email in Sitely (best to use the portrait tablet layout for this.) Screenshot the final layout in preview mode. Upload the screenshot to ChatGPT and write a prompt requesting chat to create an html email based on the screenshot. In the prompt, explain that you want to retain the colours and layout of the design. To make things simpler, be sure to upload any graphic elements (logos, images etc.) to a folder on your hosting server - e.g. your domain/mailassets. By doing this you can include the url of your assets in the chat prompt.
chatGPT will do a good job of creating your email template as a piece of html code that you can paste into an html email. To preview your email, be sure to paste the generated html code into a new plain text document and save it with an html extension. Double clicking on the saved file will open it in a browser so you can see how it looks. You will also be able to edit the text of your email directly in the same html document, or you can edit text after creating the email in your email app.
