Before You Start
The Email Love Figma Plugin works with any Figma plan (Free, Professional, Organization, or Enterprise) on both desktop and browser. You'll need a Figma account and an active Email Love license to access all features. The plugin runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux — anywhere Figma runs.
Method 1: Install from the Figma Community Page
The quickest way to get started is from the official plugin listing.
- Open your browser and navigate to the Email Love Figma Plugin page on the Figma Community.
- If you're not already logged into Figma, click Open in Figma to log in first.
- Click the Open in… button, then select the project where you want to use the plugin — or choose New file to start with a blank canvas.
- Click Run to launch the plugin immediately, or Save to bookmark it for easy access later.
Method 2: Install from Within Figma
You can also find and install the plugin without leaving Figma.
- Log into Figma (desktop app or browser).
- Click the Explore Community link in the bottom-left corner, then search for Email Love.
- Click the plugin listing when it appears.
- Click the Open in… button, then select a project or click New file.
- Click Run to launch the plugin, or Save to bookmark it.
Running the Plugin After Installation
Once saved, you can launch Email Love anytime from within a Figma file:
- Open any Figma design file.
- Right-click on the canvas and select Plugins > Email Love - HTML Email Builder.
- Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut: press Cmd + / (Mac) or Ctrl + / (Windows/Linux), then type "Email Love" and press Enter.
The plugin panel will open on the right side of your Figma canvas.
Activating Your License
When you first run the plugin, you'll be prompted to enter your license key. If you've purchased a plan through the Email Love website, you'll receive your license key via email.
- Launch the plugin in any Figma file.
- Enter your license key when prompted.
- Click Activate to unlock all features.
Your license is tied to your Figma account, so you only need to activate once — it will carry across all your Figma files and devices.
If you're evaluating the plugin, a free trial is available that lets you explore the interface and components before purchasing.
Troubleshooting Installation Issues
"I can't find the plugin in the Figma Community"
Make sure you're searching for "Email Love" (two words). The full name is "Email Love - HTML Email Builder." If the Community search isn't returning results, try accessing the direct plugin link.
"The plugin won't run or shows an error"
Try these steps in order:
- Refresh the Figma tab (browser) or restart the Figma desktop app.
- Clear your Figma cache: go to Help > Troubleshooting > Clear Cache in the desktop app.
- Make sure you're using a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari).
- Check that your Figma app is up to date.
"My license key isn't working"
Double-check that you're copying the full key with no extra spaces. If you've recently purchased and haven't received your key, check your spam folder. Still stuck? Reach out to support@emaillove.com and we'll get you sorted.
"The plugin panel is blank or not loading"
This is usually a network issue. Make sure you have a stable internet connection — the plugin needs to communicate with our servers to load components and validate your license. If you're behind a corporate firewall or VPN, check that Figma plugins aren't being blocked.
