Mailgun is one of the popular email services that is used by thousands of people out there. Along with Mailchimp, ConvertKit, and GetResponse, it occupies the leading position in the market.
Unlike its brethren, it was created specifically for developers and serious businesses that are not afraid of getting their hands dirty and writing some pieces of code using powerful APIs built for high email deliverability.
However, writing code is one thing, but designing an eye-pleasing email newsletter is a completely different matter. If you have some issues with that, we have the simplest solution.
Use Postcards – a free HTML email newsletter builder with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a bunch of handcrafted units to create a good-looking, fully responsive, and stylish email template within seconds. We are going to show you how to integrate it into Mailgun easily and hassle-free.
Our concise yet very helpful tutorial consists of just two steps. That is enough not only to create a custom email newsletter in Mailgun but also to get the idea of this daily process.
We have created both text and video versions so that you can grasp the idea more thoroughly.
► So what are the main steps?
Step 0 Prerequisites. While you can start the tutorial immediately, it is highly recommended for you to have an account in Designmodo, an account in Mailgun, and a text editor that can open HTML files (Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code will do) so that our tutorial be productive.
Step 1 Create a template with Mailgun template variables. Both the first and second steps in our tutorial are quite comprehensive. They include not just one action, but a series of actions, therefore, pay attention to details.
First and foremost, we are going to open Postcards and create the design of our email newsletter. We have used the basic components like Header, Content, Features block, Call to Action block, and of course, Footer. Though you can go for any other components.
When you are happy with your design, it is time to populate your Postcard template with special Mailgun template variables. We are going to use two main options that will add dynamic content pieces.
These dynamic content pieces allow you to send out personalized emails to your subscribers. It is one of the most powerful tricks in email marketing. Therefore, follow the instructions to benefit from them.
When you finish with the design, you need to export your masterpiece that is already packed with email marketing features. Here make sure you have selected the “Host images online” option to not deal with images manually.
Step 2 Create an email template in Mailgun. It is here where we will convert our thoughtfully designed email newsletter template in Postcards into the platform-compatible piece.
First, you need to sign in, open the builder, and select the blank template. Fill in all the required fields, such as name and description.
The conversion is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is just add Postcards code inside the code editor by copying and pasting.
That is all. The work is done. If you are happy with the template, you should hit the “Create” button and test your email.
Enjoy your stylish, fully responsive, handcrafted email newsletter in Mailgun.
