I’m struggling with Hubspot’s email editor. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t undo changes after saving. This makes it really hard to develop HTML emails.
Does anyone know if there are other tools we can use to build emails for Hubspot? Or maybe some tricks to get around this problem?
I’ve tried using their preview feature, but once I go back to edit, there’s no way to undo anything. It feels like I’m stuck in the stone age of email development.
Has anyone found a good solution for this? I’m open to any ideas that might make the process smoother. It’s really slowing down my workflow and I’m sure there must be a better way to do this.
I’ve faced similar frustrations with Hubspot’s email editor. One workaround I’ve found effective is to develop the email HTML externally using a tool like Litmus or Email on Acid. These platforms offer more robust editing features and version control. Once you’re satisfied with the design, you can copy the final HTML into Hubspot.
Another approach is to save multiple versions of your email as you go. It’s not ideal, but it allows you to revert to previous iterations if needed. Additionally, keeping a separate document with your HTML code can serve as a backup.
For simpler edits, I sometimes use the ‘clone’ feature in Hubspot to create a duplicate before making changes. This way, I always have the previous version to fall back on if things go awry. It’s not perfect, but it helps mitigate some of the risks of irreversible changes.
As someone who’s worked extensively with Hubspot’s email editor, I can relate to your frustration. One effective method I’ve employed is utilizing version control software like Git for my email HTML. This allows me to track changes, revert when necessary, and maintain a history of my work.
Another approach is to develop emails in a more flexible environment such as Mailchimp’s email builder, then export the HTML and import it into Hubspot. This gives you more editing flexibility and the ability to save versions.
For quick edits within Hubspot, I’ve found it helpful to keep a separate text file with snippets of HTML that I frequently use. This way, if I make a mistake, I can quickly replace sections without starting from scratch.
Lastly, consider reaching out to Hubspot’s support team or checking their community forums. They might have additional tips or be working on improvements to address this common pain point.
I’ve been in your shoes, and it’s definitely frustrating. One strategy that’s worked well for me is using a local HTML editor like Sublime Text or VS Code to build and refine my emails. I keep multiple versions saved locally, which gives me more control over revisions.
When I’m happy with the design, I paste the finalized HTML into Hubspot. This approach allows me to experiment freely without worrying about losing changes. It also lets me use more advanced features and CSS that Hubspot’s editor might not support.
For quick edits in Hubspot, I’ve found taking screenshots before making changes can be a lifesaver. It’s not elegant, but it gives me a visual reference to revert to if needed. Also, don’t underestimate the power of good old copy-paste into a text file before making significant changes in Hubspot’s editor.
While these aren’t perfect solutions, they’ve helped me maintain sanity while working with Hubspot’s limitations. Hope this helps!
