Introducing AI Assistant 🤖
We're thrilled to announce that our AI Assistant is now live in our email builder! After conducting extensive beta tests over the past few months, we're excited to release this innovative feature to our Agency plan clients. With the AI writing assistant, you can streamline your email writing process and create engaging, high-quality content with ease.
New Integrations
Now you can effortlessly connect Postcards with Klaviyo, Brevo (Sendinblue), SendGrid, and SendPulse. Create visually stunning emails and send them through your preferred platform in no time.
Export to Outlook
Export to EMLTPL for Outlook on Mac OS (Windows coming soon!): We've heard your feedback, and we've added an export to EMLTPL feature. This allows you to use your Postcards templates directly in your Outlook account.
Basic Modules 🎉
We understand the importance of personalization in email marketing. So, we've added Basic Modules with a custom HTML module, giving you even more creative control over your email templates.
Projects
We have refined the “Projects” feature. Now you can organize emails by folders and files, any the ones you remove will be stored in the "Deleted" folder. The update also gives you improved search functionality.
Image settings
Images are an essential part of every email newsletter design. That’s why we have developed new features for image customization. We'll continue developing the image customization tool, so you don't need to use any other software when you’re working with images.
More advanced font editing
We heard your requests for editing multiple fonts in a project, adjusting line height, font weight, and letter spacing. All of those features are included! Voila =)
Advanced spacing controller
With this one, we decided to take it a step further and make the process of editing the space around elements as intuitive as possible. Use the “watch” controller to push or pull parameters and see changes right in the editing space. We’d love to hear your feedback about the controller!
More?
We’re not sharing everything yet ;) but there’s more; including drop shadows, change border-radius, text alignment, text shadows, image options, and more!
Now you can finally create professional emails and design templates for all your clients, projects, or friends - 20x faster!
Thank you for your support as we continue working on developing our apps. You’re our biggest supporters! 🤗
@andrianv congrats to you and the team. How would I build in email and export it to ActiveCampaign?
What other platforms can I export to?
Thank you for sharing your product here today.
@kensavage, thank you!
ActiveCampaign is on our roadmap. Currently, we offer integrations with: Klaviyo, Brevo (Sendinblue), Mailchimp, Hubspot, Sendgrid, and Sendpulse.
Additionally, you don't need an integration to use Postcards. Simply export the zip file and import it into ActiveCampaign. If they don't host your images, you can host them directly in the Postcards app, and we'll keep them online for you.
I was trying to understand the value of Postcards, coming from a marketing background and using email editors since 2013. Honestly, initially it felt like any other email editor out there. I then started reading some of the testimonials and I started understanding the issues that Postcards was actually solving for. While going through the demo, I noticed that there are sections with templates like, eCommerce. I really liked how easily I can built & export an email.
One feedback I had, it would be great if the website had use-case based pages - so that users can relate their pain points with their own use-case. This will motivate users to try out the tool with a purpose. Apart from that, really nice & clean design, love the design language you guys have.
Congrats @andrianv & team, have a great launch guys!
@neilroy91 Hi Neil, thank you for your review! Regarding your feedback, are you expecting to see ready-made email templates organized by different topics? Have I understood you correctly?
@andrianv Correct. Templates + Use-cases, based on Topics/Industries - but showing that along with the core features, so that users can relate better, before they try out the product.
@sergey_kizim That is an SVG animation that I have recently addressed and resolved some issues with. Essentially, it creates a cinematic effect by seamlessly transitioning between frames at a rate of ~24 frames per second. Glad you noticed :)
For so long, I longed for a way to create visually stunning emails to send via Hubspot that didn't involve any coding. Designmodo enables me to do that—and fast! They have a full library of modules (call-to-actions, feature content blocks, headers, etc.) that you can drag and drop and customize very easily to fit your brand. Honestly, I wish I had found this product sooner!
Congratulations and thank you for the new version!
I was among the first people to actually purchase Postcards v1.
Recently, I had the chance to use version 3, and all I can say is - great development!
I truly appreciate the time and effort the team has invested into improving the product.
And the AI integration in the new version is the cherry on top 🤩
Thank you guys!
@sergiuradu The difference between V1 and V3 is enormous! I'm sure you've noticed the changes. The AI features remain in public-beta for now. As we plan to add more AI features soon - we'll release them separately later. But yes, now you can enjoy the AI assistant directly on the Postcards editor. Thanks!
I've been using Postcards to create monthly newsletters for years now, and I'm truly impressed with this new update! The email builder has greatly improved since the previous version; it's easier to use and includes many new features and basic modules I enjoy working with. 🤩
It's always a pleasure to use the Postcards for the monthly newsletters I send to subscribers of the absurd.design project. Excellent work, team! 😍
Used this for some clients in the past who needed some template designs asap. Postcards delivered on getting great designs prototyped, approved, and exported incredibly fast with an amazing user experience! Interested to see version 3.
Congrats Andrian & team on your launch of Postcards 3!
It's thrilling to see the innovative blend of intuitive design tools and AI to help us in Email Design.
Supported & Good luck!
@svitlana_palamarchuk Currently, we have introduced a feature that enables the rapid rewriting of selected text to your desired length. This feature has typically been a source of frustration for designers and copywriters. Designers aim to create aesthetically pleasing and balanced text, while copywriters strive to incorporate all necessary information to effectively convey their ideas. Now, with a simple adjustment of a slider, you can achieve both objectives simultaneously.
However, we are also in the process of developing a module from the ground up with AI. This upcoming feature will allow you to specify your requirements and receive the desired content within seconds (not just text, but actual layout). Moreover, you will have the flexibility to modify the output to better suit your specific needs.
We appreciate your inquiries and feedback!
@andrianv@othmane_khadri Yes! The idea is to create a module/template based on your request (not just text, but an actual prompt). We are working on both (prompt and content generation) at this exact moment. Hopefully, we'll deliver it within a month.
Super product! I exclusively use Postcard for all my business project emails. It provides an exceptional user experience, with its user-friendly interface and easily customizable designs.
The code is clear and comprehensible, making it a breeze for developers to work with. I highly recommend this project to others.
It makes a lot of difference to us, We are someone who frequently designs new emails. Postcards features will improve our creativity and productivity. Congrats on the launch
You asked about "Is there anything missing that you'd like to see added? "
My response is: dark mode preview.
Before shifting to Postcards, we were using the built-in editors that came with our various ESPs (e.g., Mailchimp, Moosend, Aweber). Although they were sufficient, they often resulted in generic designs with inconsistent responsiveness, and occasionally, messy HTML code.
We don't employ Postcards for any complex designs. However, it has enabled us to generate consistent, clean layouts with a broad brand identity, regardless of the program we use to send emails.
As previously mentioned, we are extremely pleased with the support we receive. There are hardly any bugs, and most of our queries are typically along the lines of "how do I do x?"
I was a subscriber and postcards is absolutely the easiest way to build no code email newsletters but the pricing is just beyond reasonable. The cost of postcards is greater than some platforms that also manage mailing lists and deliver the messages as well as build the templates. For a small business like mine where I perhaps send 6 newsletters a year to clients it’s impossible to justify such a high price. It’s a shame because the emails look really slick and is very quick and easy to build. Just economically way off in terms of value to cost ratio.
@brad_clark1 They offer a 20% discount now with coupon code PHPOSTCARDS3 :D
I don't think the pricing is high. I have tested Stripo, BeeFree, Topol, and Chamaileon, and while they charge more as you need more functionality, they offer better pricing just at first glance... Designmodo's pricing is always the same as you see in their pricing table.
@webdesignerhut I’ll agree to disagree $24 a month is more than I pay using mailchimp and I bought a template that is quite similar to postcards design (not quite but almost) which can be edited for free with liramail which was a one off price of $19 - so it's actually $24 p month (Postcards) + cost of sending emails (in my case $10 p month) or just the one-off cost of a template with free editor and the $10 a month sending service cost. Quite a significant difference. So $34 a month vs $10
@brad_clark1 Offering us 3 stars on review due to pricing seems a bit unusual, but ok... :) Remember, you always have the option to access our service for one month, then cancel the subscription directly from your account. You can restart the subscription whenever you acquire new clients. I'm confident that you'll return your investment. Nevertheless, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you appreciate our no-code email builder and I'm delighted to know we're providing value to our customers.
As you mentioned, "emails look really slick and is very quick and easy to build" This is precisely what customers are paying for :)
I believe we provide significant value to our customers, making them feel that they are truly getting their money's worth. 😌
@nft1010 because liramial is being used just to edit the template. I have the template itself also. There’s nothing I have to worry about losing - love how product hunt users always pile in on people with feedback about pricing.
