AI Template Studio

Description

Writing email templates in Mautic takes time. You start with a blank GrapesJS canvas, build structure from scratch, drop in tokens, check links, and only discover problems after the first test send.

AI Template Studio changes the starting point. You describe the email you need, and the plugin generates a full MJML template — structured, editable, and ready to open in GrapesJS. Then you edit. The AI handles the structure; you handle the final copy and brand details.

Before anything is published, the plugin runs preflight checks: token validity, link integrity, layout safety, and Mautic-specific hazards that generic email tools miss. You catch problems before your first test send, not after.

Who It Is For

• –Marketing teams that need to produce email drafts faster without losing editability
• –Agencies managing high email volume across multiple Mautic clients
• –Operators who want consistent structure and validation built into the publish workflow

Features

• –Describe the email in plain language — the AI generates a full MJML template
• –Output opens directly in Mautic's GrapesJS visual builder — no copy-paste, no conversion
• –Override content block by block before committing the generated template
• –Connects to a configurable AI backend — use your own API key and model
• –Prompt templates stored in the database for team reuse and iteration
• –Brand settings (colors, fonts, logo URL) applied automatically to generated output
• –Copy guidelines configurable per installation to keep tone consistent
• –Token validation: catches undefined or misspelled Mautic tokens before publish
• –Link validation: checks for broken and placeholder URLs
• –Preflight checks for Mautic-specific hazards: missing unsubscribe links, unsafe fallback text, layout issues in common clients

What It Does Not Do

• –It does not publish templates automatically — publishing is always a manual step
• –It is not a general-purpose design tool — it generates email templates for Mautic specifically
