Important Guidelines
Slinky is not perfect yet, so to get the best result, there are some things to remember creating you design file:
⚠️ Images and icons
Slinky will automatically export image and icon assets, but you need to individually mark them as Exportable
⚠️ Links
Link support is a bit hacky for now. You have two three options:
- Name your group/shape/layer as the link you want to use for it. Slinky will catch that and automatically convert that object to a link
- Slinky will automatically convert to links text layers containing a valid url or email
- Add the links afterwards in the code or with whatever tool you will use for sending the email
⚠️ Fonts
Slinky does not check the template for custom fonts (yet) and will export the template as it is. For the safest result across different email clients, we suggest you to use cross-platform fonts only:
-
Sans Serif Safe Fonts
- Arial
- Arial Black
- Century Gothic
- Geneva
- Lucida
- Lucida Sans
- Lucida Grande
- Tahoma
- Trebuchet MS
- Verdana
-
Serif Safe Fonts
- Courier
- Courier New
- Georgia
- MS Serif
- Palatino
- Palatino Linotype
- Times
- Times New Roman
