Marketing and service emails are separate on purpose. Marketing mail — campaigns and
sequences — goes out from the HTML templates you author, and always carries an unsubscribe link.
Service mail — the login link, a password reset, an invitation to your organization — is sent by
AgentsMail itself and carries none, because its recipient is not a subscriber.
The two kinds
Templates you author, sent in bulk
- A template is an HTML file — the design lives in the template, not in the app
- Merge tags
{{name}}are resolved per recipient at send time - Sent in batches against your sending quota, and paid for from your balance
- Every send is logged per recipient, with click and open tracking
- An unsubscribe link is mandatory and verified before sending
Why HTML templates for marketing
An email client is not a browser. Outlook renders through the Word engine, Gmail strips<style>
blocks, and dark mode rewrites your colours. Email HTML means nested tables, inline styles and
vendor hacks — and that is exactly what tools like Mailchimp export.
Storing the template as HTML means you can paste a template from anywhere and it works, and that two
templates can look nothing alike. The application imposes no layout of its own.
The unsubscribe link is verified, not injected. If the rendered HTML does not contain the
unsubscribe URL, the send is refused with an explicit error. Nothing is silently appended to your
markup — the link has to be in your template.
Authoring a template
The template editor shows the HTML on the left and the live rendering on the right. Saving converts recognised Mailchimp merge tags to the product syntax and reports the ones that are not supported. See Merge Tags Cheat Sheet for the full list of tags, what they resolve to, and what happens to unsupported ones.What surrounds a template
- Editable zones — mark parts of the document so anyone can rewrite the copy without touching the design.
- Images — an email cannot carry attachments, so every visual is loaded from the media library by the recipient's mail client.
- Dark mode — what is guaranteed when a mail client repaints your email, and the one thing in your HTML that defeats it.
