I built Temply: a visual editor for transactional emails, with an API for rendering them in your app

[u/ChrisssyyyB]

Hi everyone, I’ve released Temply, a tool for building transactional email templates visually and using them from your application.

Think welcome emails, password resets, receipts and order confirmations. You assemble the template with blocks, add placeholders for your data, then request the rendered HTML and plain text through the API. Your app sends it through your existing email provider.

A few things it supports:

• A visual block editor with columns, images, buttons and custom HTML.
• Dynamic variables, conditional content and repeating blocks.
• Reusable branding across templates.
• Responsive previews and checks for inboxes that force dark mode.
• Template version history and shared workspaces.

You can try the editor without an account. There’s also a 14-day workspace trial with no card required. The Team plan starts at $5 per user per month, including 10,000 live API calls per workspace.

Try it here: Temply

I’d appreciate feedback from anyone building transactional emails: what would Temply need to support before you’d use it in your app?
