strapi-plugin-email-designer-fix v0.1.1

Strapi email designer plugin 💅

Design your own email templates directly from the Strapi CMS admin panel and use the magic to send programmatically email from your controllers / services.

Visual composer provided by Unlayer

⏳ Installation

Install Strapi with this Quickstart command to create a Strapi project instantly:

• (Use yarn to install the Strapi project (recommended). Install yarn with these docs.)

# with yarn
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart

# with npm/npx
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart

This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The Quickstart command installs Strapi using a SQLite database which is used for prototyping in development.

• Add the strapi-designer plugin

yarn add strapi-plugin-email-designer@latest

# or

npm i -S strapi-plugin-email-designer@latest

• After successful installation you've to build a fresh package that includes plugin UI. To archive that simply use:

yarn build && yarn develop

# or

npm run build && npm run develop

• or just run Strapi in the development mode with --watch-admin option:

yarn develop --watch-admin

#or

npm run develop --watch-admin

The Email Designer plugin should appear in the Plugins section of Strapi sidebar after you run app again.
