Convert page to newsletter

    On my site I create newsletters as pages so they are accessible thru the menu. I have an “all newsletters” page with links to all of the newsletters.

    With MailPoet2, I’d create a new newsletter by copy/pasting the page HTML into a newsletter email and send it. All of the formatting and images where intact.

    But with MailPoet3, when I paste into a new newsletter all of the images and formatting is lost.

    Is there a way in MailPoet3 to create a new newsletter with HTML from a page as the body of the email with all of the formatting and images intact?

  • Hi,
    I had a similar problem where the HTML from my MailPoet email looked terrible when I tried to turn it into a webpage.

    Initially, I used the “view in browser” link from my email. This worked well until I realised that people could then subscribe/unsubscribe and view my personal email.

    I then decided to save the email as a pdf, remove the “view in browser” and “unsubscribe links”, reduce the quality and then upload that. I am fairly happy with this solution as now it is a document rather than an uploaded page.

    I would be interested to see if MailPoet could implement another way to keep the HTML intact.

    For reference, my “all newsletters” page is here: https://www.thewahman.com/newsletters/

    Hi there,

    At this time that wouldn’t be possible. MailPoet 3 uses it’s own newsletter designer and has a JSON output. Custom HTML is stripped to ensure maximum compatibility with all email clients.

    Thanks!

    What about the other way around – create an email in MailPoet, then grab the HTML and create a WP page with it?

    Hi @pgill11,

    You could try, but you’d be missing styles and classes that are tied directly to the email, so you’d have to take the MailPoet assets, enqueue them on your page, then write up the HTML and remove tags specific to emails. It’s not something that the markup is ready for in a copy/paste way.

    Thanks!
