Sending your HTML emails

Guidance on sending exported HTML emails via ESPs and built-in Emailify integrations.

After you've exported the HTML, you need to use an email service provider (ESP) such as Klaviyo, MailChimp or one of the many other services that allow you to send HTML emails to a list.

If you aren't already using an ESP to deliver emails to your list, you need to sign up for one, which will help you host all of your image assets online and also handle delivering the send of your HTML email in bulk to a your email audience list.

Can I send exported HTML directly from Gmail or Outlook? ​

No. Do not send exported Emailify HTML directly from Gmail or Outlook. They are not designed for importing and sending bulk custom HTML email, and they can rewrite or break the HTML. Images may also fail because email images need to be hosted online.

What should I use instead of Gmail or Outlook? ​

Use an email service provider that supports custom HTML templates, such as Klaviyo, MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Customer.io, HubSpot, Braze, SendGrid, Brevo, or another ESP. Emailify also includes built-in upload integrations for many ESPs listed below.

Do not use Outlook or Gmail to send your HTML email. Unfortunately, you can't reliably send out HTML emails using Gmail or Outlook, as the images need to be hosted somewhere online, and the HTML will get messed up in the process using these email services that aren't designed for handling this type of bulk send. Try signing up for a service like Klaviyo or MailChimp to get started if you're new to sending HTML emails.

Can I use Emailify with an ESP that does not have a built-in integration? ​

Yes, if that ESP lets you import or paste custom HTML.

  1. Export your email from Emailify as HTML.
  2. Keep Upload Hosted Image URLs enabled, or host the exported img/ assets yourself.
  3. In your ESP, create a custom HTML template or code-based email, then import the exported HTML or ZIP.
  4. Add any platform-specific unsubscribe links, merge tags, footer requirements, or layout wrappers required by that ESP before sending.

If the platform does not accept custom HTML templates, Emailify cannot upload to it directly. In that case, use one of Emailify's built-in integrations below or switch to an ESP that supports custom HTML imports.
