Email & Newsletter Templates

This feature is in beta

Email & Newsletter Templates is currently in beta (0.1.0, requires Hyvä CMS 1.3.0-beta1). Features, configuration, and the developer API are still evolving and may change - possibly in backwards-incompatible ways - before the general release. We don't recommend using it in production yet; if you do, expect that upgrading to later versions may require rework. See Release Process & Status for what beta means, and the beta upgrade notes for how to install beta versions.

Email Templates

Hyvä Email & Newsletter Templates brings the Hyvä CMS Liveview Editor to your transactional emails and newsletters. Instead of hand-editing Magento email HTML, you compose emails visually from email-safe components - headings, text, buttons, order summaries, tracking info, and more - with a live preview that shows exactly what your customers will receive.

The module covers two content types:

  • Email Templates - Magento transactional emails (order confirmation, invoice, shipment, credit memo, password reset, customer account emails, and any custom template).
  • Newsletter Templates - Magento newsletter campaigns, sent through the standard newsletter queue.

Both share the same components, editor, and configuration, so once you know one, you know both.

Key Features

  • Visual editing with the same Liveview Editor used for Hyvä CMS pages and blocks
  • Email-safe components that render as bulletproof table-based HTML with inlined CSS
  • Ready-made presets for all common transactional emails, so you never start from a blank canvas
  • Dynamic content through Magento directives such as {{var order_data.customer_name}}, inserted from a variable picker
  • Live preview with realistic dummy data, including a real order of your choice
  • Email client simulation and health checks - catch accessibility and compatibility issues before you send
  • Test sends to your own inbox
  • Version history so you can safely iterate

Requires Hyvä CMS

Email & Newsletter Templates is a feature module for Hyvä CMS, so the Hyvä CMS module must be installed and enabled. See the Hyvä CMS documentation.
