Dittofeed provides two forms of email template editing:

  1. A notion like low-code editor that makes it easy to compose primarily text-based emails.
  2. A code-based editor that supports Liquid, HTML, and MJML.

​
Low-code Editor

The low-code editor provides a notion-like interface for composing lightly styled emails. Blocks are inserted into the template by typing the / key and selecting the desired block from the list of suggestions.

Text can be formatted by highlighting the text and selecting the desired formatting options from the toolbar that appears.

​
Code-based Editor

The code-based email editor supports Liquid syntax, HTML, and MJML. Learn more about coding responsive emails in MJML in the next section.

Sending Email Attachments

Dittofeed supports sending email attachments.

When possible, you should link to files using a URL rather than sending them as attachments. Email attachments can have a substantial negative impact on emails’ deliverability.

  • Email providers often send emails with attachments to spam.
  • Email attachments are often used by malicious actors to distribute malware.

Sending email attachments requires using File type user properties. First, create a user property that will capture the file you’re interested in sending.

Then, include a reference to this file in your template, by clicking on “Options”.

Finally, send a track event with the files you’d like to attach.

{
  "type": "track",
  "files": [
    {
      "type": "Base64Encoded",
      "name": "my_file_name.pdf",
      "mimeType": "application/pdf",
      "data": "base64-encoded-file-data"
    }
  ],
  "properties": {
    ...
  },
  ...
}
