Sendune Email Designer is a drag and drop HTML email builder for teams who want templates that work with any sending provider.
Most email builders either lock the output into a proprietary format or produce markup that falls apart in Outlook. The Sendune designer, originally built for the sending product formerly named Send With SES, outputs plain HTML you can save as a template and use with any email service provider you like.
It ships as an Angular library installed from npm and dropped into a page as a single component, with a StackBlitz example built on Angular 15. Theming is a stylesheet import plus a few CSS custom properties for icon, header, and border colors, so matching the editor to a surrounding application takes minutes rather than a fork.
A few deliberate decisions shape what the editor does and does not do.
- Direct HTML output: no intermediate layer such as MJML sits between the editor and the markup it produces.
- Three template types: a drag and drop designer, an HTML code editor, and plain text for minimalists.
- Unlimited templates: create and save as many as you want, with no cap imposed by the tool.
- Tested foundations: the layout rules draw on published work by Ted Goas, Nicole Merlin, and Mark Robbins.
- Bring your own storage: image upload and selection are events you handle, so files land in S3, R2, or wherever you choose.
A hosted demo lets you design a template and mail yourself a test before installing anything. The project takes a narrow view of email design, arguing that fine-grained control over things like line height invites breakage across clients.
