Writing HTML email by hand used to feel like a fight. Tags, attributes, and tiny style tweaks slowed you down.

We refreshed the email code editor so it stays out of the way. Autocomplete helps you finish markup faster. AI editing and styling can rewrite a block, clean spacing, or nudge colors without leaving the page. The whole thing feels quicker and cleaner when you're deep in a template.

It's also the new default when you create HTML emails through the Emails API (which you are doing if you are drafting broadcasts with agents).

What shipped

  • Autocomplete while you write HTML
  • AI editing and styling inside the editor
  • Default editor for HTML emails created via the API
  • Drag-and-drop still available when you want it

Open an email, switch to the code editor, and try an AI tweak on a stubborn section. Or create a template through the API and land in the new default.
