Email Templates & Layout​

Email template

Email html layout can be a pain to get right, since till this day email clients are not as advanced as web browsers. (you need to style them using html tables for example)

SaaSykit comes with a simple and clean default email template that you can use to send your emails. This template is already styled and is being used in the built-in emails that comes with SaaSykit.

To use the main color of your brand as a tint color in the email template, you need to set the following variable in the config/app.php file:

'email_color_tint' => '#6f27e5',

The email template comes as a Blade component that you can easily customize to fit your needs. You can find the email templates in the resources/views/components/layouts/email.blade.php and inside the resources/views/emails directory you will find the email views that are used to send the emails.

Each email view is a Blade component that extends the email template.
