# Export Figma emails to Sailthru

> Connect your Sailthru account and export email designs from Figma as Sailthru templates.

The Email Love Figma plugin lets you design emails in Figma and export them as production-ready HTML directly into your Sailthru template library. This guide walks you through the setup process.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* An active Sailthru account with API access
* Your Sailthru **API Key** and **Shared Secret** (found in your Sailthru account's API settings; see [Sailthru's API basics guide](https://getstarted.sailthru.com/developers/api-basics/introduction/))
* The Email Love Figma plugin installed
* At least one email designed in Figma using the plugin

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Your Sailthru Account">
    1. Open Figma and select your email frame
    2. Launch the Email Love plugin and click the blue **Export** button
    3. From the dropdown menu, select **Sailthru**
    4. Paste your Sailthru **API Key** and **Shared Secret**
    5. Give this connection a name (helpful if you manage multiple accounts)
    6. Click **Set API Key**

    Your credentials are stored securely and encrypted server-side, so you only need to do this once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export Your Email Template">
    1. With your email frame selected, click the blue **Export** button
    2. Select **Sailthru** from the dropdown
    3. Click **Export**
    4. You'll see a success message when the upload is finished
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access Your Template in Sailthru">
    Your exported email appears in Sailthru's template library, ready to use in your campaigns. Open your Sailthru account and navigate to your templates to preview and send.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Updatable Templates

Sailthru identifies templates by name, and the plugin supports updating in place:

* **Toggle off (default):** every export creates a new template with a date-suffixed name.
* **Toggle on:** enable **Updatable Templates** in the export settings and re-exports overwrite the same template instead of creating duplicates. Great for iterating on a design without cluttering your template library.

See [Updatable Templates](/plugin/export/updatable-templates) for how this works across platforms.

## Troubleshooting

**Export fails with an authentication error:** double-check both the API key and the shared secret. Sailthru requires the pair to sign every request, so a typo in either one will fail.

**Template doesn't appear:** confirm your API key has template permissions in Sailthru, then re-export.
