How does the Design Library work with other ESPs? For example, how do I create emails in Salesforce Marketing Cloud using the Litmus library? Litmus: Templates from your design library can be synced to your ESP for use. Modules work better and more transparently in Litmus Builder, but you can still reference your modules in the Design Library and copy the corresponding code into your build tool of choice by simply selecting a module and clicking the Code preview in the right sidebar to copy the module code to your clipboard. How to make a mod? Litmus: We have a great help document that takes you step by step through the process of creating modules in Litmus. If you're talking very generally about how to get started with modular emails, this blog post is a great guide.
When should you use one modular block over another? Are there rules of use? Litmus: Assuming this question refers to the difference between partials and excerpts... Partials are global modules that are referenced from your emails or templates. Making changes to a partial affects every email/template where that partial is E-Commerce Photo Editing Service included. Partials are great for commonly used elements that don't change from email to email: headers, footers, CSS reset and base styles, breakpoints and responsive styles, spacing, etc Code snippets are reusable modules that can be inserted into an email or template and edited in that email/template without affecting other emails/templates. Snippets are great for the majority of your “body” content: hero blocks, primary/secondary/tertiary content blocks, CTAs, etc.
How to organize the blocks? Litmus: Check out our blog post on 7 Ways to Organize Your Email Modules into Useful Categories (by email type is a common favorite!). How do you keep people on the same page for more consistency? Litmus: That's the beauty of a design system: it's always up-to-date and promotes consistency by ensuring users are always building with the latest and greatest models and modules. Keeping your design standards and brand guidelines documented and accessible within or alongside your design system is another great way to communicate.
