Export and Import Templates

Templated lets you export your finished email template in multiple formats and import templates from HTML files or previously saved JSON files.

Export a Template

  1. Open the template you want to export in the editor.
  2. Click Export in the toolbar. The export modal appears with three format tabs.

HTML

The HTML export produces email-ready HTML with inline CSS styles. This is the format you use to send your email through an email service provider or paste into a sending tool.

  • Copy — Copies the full HTML to your clipboard. A confirmation message appears when the copy succeeds.
  • Download — Downloads the HTML as a file to your computer.

If any conversion issues are detected during export, the modal displays a warning summary so you can review and fix problems before using the HTML.

Plain Text

The plain text export strips all formatting and extracts the text content from your template. This is useful for creating the plain text version of your email, which many email service providers require as a fallback.

  • Copy — Copies the plain text to your clipboard.
  • Download — Downloads the text as a file.

JSON

The JSON export saves the full editor state — every block, setting, and layout configuration — as a structured JSON file. This format is designed for saving and restoring templates within Templated.

  • Copy — Copies the JSON to your clipboard.
  • Download — Downloads the JSON as a file.

Import a Template

Templated supports two import methods depending on the file type.

Import HTML

You can import an existing HTML email template from the dashboard:

  1. Click Import Design in the left sidebar, or use the import option on the dashboard.
  2. Paste your HTML code into the text area, or click Upload .html file to select an HTML file from your computer.
  3. A preview of your HTML appears below the input area.
  4. Choose an editor mode:
    • Drag & Drop Editor — Converts your HTML into editable blocks so you can modify the design visually.
    • HTML Editor — Keeps the raw HTML and opens it in the code editor for direct editing.
  5. Click Import Template (or Import as HTML for HTML mode). Your template opens in the selected editor.

Import JSON

You can restore a previously exported JSON file from within the visual editor:

  1. Open a template in the visual editor.
  2. Click Import in the toolbar.
  3. Select a JSON file that was previously exported from Templated.
  4. The editor loads the template with all blocks and settings intact.

Tips

  • Export a JSON backup before making major changes to a template. If something goes wrong, you can import the backup to restore your previous version.
  • Use HTML export when you are ready to send. Use JSON export when you want to save or share the editable template.
  • When importing HTML, choose the Drag & Drop Editor if you want to rearrange and restyle content visually. Choose the HTML Editor if you prefer to work directly with the code.
  • Supported upload formats: .html and .htm files.
