    Style in Email Template engine

    Hi,

    Email templates are great tool and really help a lot, current issue is limitation when building mobile responsive html email template. Current set up doesn't allow to insert styles into header where you can define media query to target certain devise like mobile. when passing an html email template build with responsive design the crm strip all html tags like (html / body and any inline styles). Is it possible to add ability to accept styles in email header? It would really make a huge difference and would allow to send responsive emails that could be readable on mobile / tablets and laptops.

    Especially with email marketing most of the time the html email template should be designed to target readers on different screens.

    Thanks

      Hi Rabii,

      HEAD, and STYLE are stripped as the editor is based on the contenteditable (the browser functionality). It would be really hard to implement with the current approach how email templates work.
      If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

          Hi Yuri,

          I understand, as said it would be great to have such ability to style html email to target different screens. Is there any other way e.g implementing an open source email builder ? found few like https://github.com/unlayer/vue-email-editor

          i understand how this could be challenging but i hope when you have time in future to consider such feature it would help a lot.

          Many thanks for your work.

                  Yeah i have used MJML but when you copy the html into espocrm the style get stripped out. on your video the template you used has not much responsiveness that target mobile devices. this is not about the email template builder or frameworks that help to create email template but rather how it works in espocrm now and how crm strip off any head or style.

                  Thanks emillod

                  always a joy to watch your videos you are doing great job guys, respect.

                    Got you. We're using emails in that way and "it's okay". It could be better on phones, but we're not complaining

                        Thank you Yuri, I see that there is some discussion about this on Summernote Github. May I ask, is this a problem on Summernote's side then?

                            You are free to ask them. Just keep in mind that it's an open source and they work for free.
