Even without the borderline content, if it seems promotional, it may end up in promotions regardless.
You can upload MJML if you’d really like to, along with designing in Figma via an integration, but really your best bet is our editor.
If we can save a few engineering hours just by having the product person that needs to update the emails with new copy actually update the copy instead of pinging engineering, we think we’ve improved things.
If a competitor ends up building a GUI, glad to see they agree too :)
Beyond that, our goal is to offer the single platform for email for your SaaS. So we’re focused on bringing together product, marketing and engineering in a single, hopefully cohesive and delightful, experience.
It needs to not be hidden behind a button, that’s on the list.
You can do a lot to improved deliverability once you approach it at a platform level. We have access to various datapoints at scale that we can use to help individual users improve their deliverability vs working directly with the sending infra. Beyond that, we offer a platform that helps reduce pain and friction that might exist with more barebones, infrastructure focused services.
Pricing, performance and UX are the primary drivers for switching that we have seen so far.
We were on Slate previously and actually rewrote our editor to support our switch to Lexical. It’s very early but it’s a cool platform. Wish they had a community outside Discord but that’s more personal preference.
Will certainly place it in the footer and switch off the upvote portion in the future.
In pricing, we try to simplify by ditching the tables and anchoring around one metric.
For engineers, our documentation is decent and updated regularly. We try to have a performant API, support the integrations you’re most likely to use and include a versioning system with our transactional email.
For marketing, we built our editor around a text-based interface and make it highly customizable. We also take the pain out of having to test across multiple platforms.
For product teams, we offer templates that cater to specific touchpoints in the SaaS lifecycle.
Across all of that we offer unlimited team seats so you can actually have your entire team onboard and technical support for when things don’t work as expected or you have questions.
We create slack connect channels with any team that needs one (we have almost 1,000) and try to provide fast, technical support.
I think parts of the editor makes sense, including the MJML. We spent an entire weekend extending MJML for Superhuman and it would be cool to release that work some way.
What are some of the biggest challenges you've run into so far?
