Generate Blocks in FluentCRM EMail Editor?

Hello Everyone,

Can you use Generate Blocks in the FluentCRM EMail editor free version? Do I need FluentCRM Pro?

I own Pro, but have a site with the free version on it - hence the question.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Cheers

It’s not possible to use Generate Blocks in the email editor. When it comes to emails, you must build them like we did back in early 2000s (with tables). Otherwise, they don’t render properly in all email clients.

Karl Emil Nikka, To be clear, you are saying that using core blocks as the documentation suggests will result in inconsistent results across various email clients?

Doug Knoyle It’s not an issue if you’re using the customized version of WordPress’ block editor included in FluentCRM. If you look at the generated HTML, you can see that FluentCRM converts the blocks to email optimized HTML (using tables). The core blocks you see in the FluentCRM’s email composer are, behind the scenes, not the same blocks you see in your regular block editor.

The Visual Builder (Unlayer) included in FluentCRM Pro also outputs email optimized HTML.
