Email templates with Bricks

Feature Requests / Improvements
1

Everyone somehow skips this topic. Then, perhaps, I’ll start :slightly_smiling_face:

When working with WP and especially with WC, we need to configure email templates. It doesn’t seem to be necessary, but it’s better when emails have a single style and the ability to add data that they don’t have by default.

In practice, I use this plugin for WC Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer — Плагин для WordPress | WordPress.org Русский It is the only one that allows you to set up templates for emails more or less normally.

I suggest that Bricks developers consider expanding the functionality that will help customize any WP email templates.

Shall we add to the ideas? :sunglasses:

You should try FluentCRM, you can make great designs, and they have great automation flows you can use with WC.

Thanks! There should be a good tool. There will be time - I will test.

But, here we are talking about something else - we need the ability to configure layouts for emails, including system ones sent by WP, WC and other plugins.

So far, I have not met a good single tool for this task. Even the Elementor doesn’t have one, as far as I know.

Yes, this would be a great feature for Bricks. However I don’t think it’s a feature that will get released.

Hey @parktechno
Bricksforge has a awesome email-designer – and it’s very nicely integrated too. Feel free to ask any questions about it or check if out yourself :slight_smile:

I never knew that. Can you change the default WP notifications wording, or do we still need to do that through snippets or the functions.php file?

Yes, it’s made quite awesome. You can use dynamic data, twig functions etc. and assign templates to any mail:

Hello @parktechno!

This is actually a good point that frustrates many developers, having to rely on 3rd party plugins!
Bricks seems to start integrating many features and make us be more independent!

Did you post it in the Bricks site’s Idea Board section?

I didn’t post any ideas on the board. It is unclear to me on what principle ideas are published there. It is better to discuss and see the demand here. And the developers themselves will decide whether to pay attention to such a tool or not.

Is there any way to use Bricksforge email designer to create templates for an external newsletter
service, like Listmonk?

Unfortunately not as far as I know. But feel free to contact their support if you want to know more (maybe planned feature?).

Better to ask this on the Bricksforge forums.

I’m very sorry, my mistake. I meant BricksBuilder. As I’m testing a few tools right now, I accidentally mentioned the wrong brand. I apologize for the confusion.

To clarify my question: I use the Postcards email builder to design my email templates. Can I use the Postcards email templates and paste them into BricksBuilder? The tool I’m referring to is here: https://designmodo.com/postcards/ . Perhaps you have some documentation on this.

Thank you, and once again, I’m sorry for the mix-up.

I have written a plugin that takes any Bricks form field (by name) and sends it to the listmonk api. If the submission succeeds, a confirmation is displayed in the form. If the email already exists in the Listmonk database, there’s also a notification in the form (along with a note that an unsubsribe link is at the bottom of ALL emails). The responses are hardcoded at this stage but I’ll add settings fields for them eventually.

Currently, it only has the option to submit email and name (optional) fields to and the list ID (number) to the Listmonk API but I’m already working on adding custom tags.

The greatest benefit and reason for me to build this is that you can make the acceptance of terms mandatory in order to even submit the form. Great for GDPR.

At any rate, the plugin will soon (1-2 weeks) be made available for download. I’m already on RC of v1.0 but running a few more tests on different WP versions before I let it lose upon others.

Since I work for or with neither Listmonk nor Bricks, it’s gonna be FOSS. I’ve run the tests for the WP repo and the plugin passed but I’m not sure I’m up for the whole shebang it brings.
I’ll add a Git link once I have it.
