Syncing Email Templates with SendGrid

All email templates must have their CSS inlined before being added to SendGrid. SendGrid does not automatically inline the CSS. Additionally, to save time while testing email template changes it is tedious to copy/paste templates between a code editor and the SendGrid UI, with the CSS-inlining script being required to run with each modification.

The scripts in this directory solve both of these problems. To get started:

  • Make sure you have python3 installed: brew install python3
  • Install premailer with python3: sudo python3 -m pip install premailer

From the root directory of the Spectrum repo, run: SENDGRID_API_KEY=<key> yarn run process:emails:test You will need a SENDGRID_API_KEY from the SendGrid app for this to work.

The :test script inlines all the CSS for each email template then syncs it with the [Test] template on SendGrid. When done testing your changes, you can sync both test and production templates by running: SENDGRID_API_KEY=<key> yarn run process:emails:prod

Sending test emails

Rather than spinning up the local web app, clicking around and trying to replicate each email's conditions, you can instead run the send-test-emails script:

SENDGRID_API_KEY=<key> yarn run process:emails:send

Be sure to edit the email address in package.json first
