The Responsive Emails extension allows applying performed changes to all templates at once by moving the appropriate toggle on the editor interface. Furthermore, you can check how a generated email will look on full screen and mobile in the preview mode before updating the templates.

In the Backend section of this review, we will show you how to configure the extension and create custom emails using the MTEditor.

Backend

The general settings of the Magento 2 Responsive Transactional Emails extension can be found under Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> Magetrend Extensions -> MT Email. The configuration page is divided into 7 sections: General Settings, Email Settings, Product Block Settings, Mass Actions, MT Editor Settings, Demo/Preview Data Settings, and Information & License.

In General Settings, you can activate the module on your website, choose a direction (Left to Right or Right to Left), and decide whether to use one email template for all store views.

In Email Settings, you decide whether to show or hide product SKU. The Product Block Settings tab lets you specify relevant SKUs for different products. 

As for Mass Actions, here you can apply the following bulk actions to transactional emails: Create Templates, Delete Templates, Update System Config, and Restore System Config.  

Next, specify font families which you want to use when editing email templates.

In the next settings tab, you should enter the order, invoice, credit memo, and shipment IDs that will be used for template rendering in the editor.

In the last section of the extension’s configuration page, insert your license key.

Let’s proceed with the exploration of the module’s backend functions by creating a new email template. All templates are gathered in a grid under Marketing -> Communications -> Email Templates. Here, you can see each template’s ID, name, date and time when it was created and updated, email subject, type, and whether it was generated using the MTEditor. It is possible to apply filters to search for particular templates, preview emails in a quick view window, and edit them by clicking on a template’s record line in the grid. To add a new email template, press the “Create New with MTEditor” button in the top right corner of the screen.

First, select an email template, its language, and store view, specify a template name and email subject (variables can be used), and click “Create new”.

After a new template is generated, you can modify it in the MTEditor. Here, you can make all necessary changes and customizations in your document. The Responsive Emails extension lets admin users change the layout of a template by dragging and dropping various blocks on the email draft.

It is also possible to move the template’s elements to another position, customize their text, change background and font colors, as well as font size and family.

You can also upload image files, specify their size and other properties, and use them for your template.

The extension’s editor also allows using CSS to customize emails.

Furthermore, you can leverage the preview function to check how an email will look in the full-screen mode and on mobile.

By clicking “Send” in the editor menu on the left, you can enter an email address in the relevant field to send a test email. 

Below, you can see a customized look of a New Order email:
