What this video covers

This video shows how to use the Emailify Figma plugin to export an HTML email directly from Figma into MailChimp as a MailChimp template. It also explains how to create a MailChimp API key, upload the template, and view the result in MailChimp.

Things you'll need

• A Figma file with an email already designed in Emailify.
• A MailChimp account with access to create an API key.

Steps

1. Install Emailify from the Figma Community under the Plugins tab.
2. Open your Figma file, right-click, and launch Emailify from Plugins.
3. Click Export, change the export destination from the default HTML package to MailChimp, and open the MailChimp API Key link.
4. In MailChimp, create a new API key, label it if desired, and copy the generated key.
5. Paste the API key into the Emailify plugin, select the email you want to upload, and make sure it has a subject line and pre-header.
6. Click Upload to MailChimp to generate the HTML, upload the images, and create the template in MailChimp.
7. Open the MailChimp templates page to confirm the uploaded template, preview it, and switch between desktop and mobile views if needed.
