New to Email Love and bringing an existing email library? The fastest way to get up and running is to have an AI agent audit and migrate your current library first, before you build anything new. See Migrating an Existing Design System or Template.
Pick your path
Build with an AI agent
Point Claude or OpenAI Codex at your Figma file, brief it, and it assembles emails from your design system. Fastest for routine campaigns and lifecycle sequences.
Build with the plugin
Duplicate a template, swap the content, and export. The original workflow, still the best if you want full manual control.
What you need
For either path:- A Figma account. A Free Figma seat works when you build by hand. Writing to the canvas with an agent requires a Full Figma seat and edit access to the file. If you do not have an account, sign up at Figma.com.
- The Email Love plugin installed in Figma. Search “Email Love” from the plugin menu, or grab it from the Figma Community. Free plan includes 5 exports per month; paid plans are unlimited.
- A design system to build from. Use your own Email Love design system, migrate an existing library, or duplicate the Ultimate Email Design System to start with our components and templates.
- Claude or OpenAI Codex. Either works with the same Email Love workflow.
- The official Figma MCP connected to your agent, with access to your file. Setup instructions are in Build with the Figma MCP.
Watch a walkthrough
A 15-minute walkthrough covering the plugin from installation through your first export. Good background if you plan to work in the plugin directly.
A few things to know before you start
- Frame names become template names in your ESP. Name them carefully.
- Always add a footer. Our footer components include the correct unsubscribe merge tag for your platform.
- Use auto layout for spacing, not manual positioning. The exporter reads padding, not pixel positions.
- Test mobile styles. The Mobile Styles tab lets you override padding, font sizes, and alignment for phones.
- Building on the canvas is free, exports are metered. 5 free exports per month on the Free plan; unlimited on paid plans.
Need help?
Ask Claude or Codex
Let an agent inspect your Figma file, diagnose a canvas problem, or prepare a safe fix.
