Salesforce HTML email templatesYour whole team builds HTML email templates in Salesforce, without touching Setup.

We install an HTML Email Builder tab in your Salesforce org. Anyone with access can upload or paste HTML, preview it on desktop and mobile, share it with their team, and send a test, all without admin access. Every template it saves is a standard Salesforce HTML template, so it shows up anywhere your team already picks an email template.

  • Upload an .html file or paste HTML
  • Live preview on desktop and mobile widths
  • Share with only you, a team, or everyone
  • Test sends to up to 25 addresses

  2. 2
    Build and preview

    Upload or paste HTML, watch the preview update, and switch between desktop and mobile

  3. 3
    Share and test

    Pick who sees it, add attachments, save, and send a test to yourself or your team

Why a template builder for your users

In standard Salesforce, HTML templates live in Setup, so marketing and admissions teams wait on an admin every time an email changes. The builder moves that work into one Lightning tab that any user with the permission set can open.

Nothing new to learn on the sending side. The builder saves regular Classic HTML (Custom) email templates, active and UTF-8, with a unique API name generated for you. They show up in the same template picker your team already uses.

Sharing follows Salesforce folders. "Only Me" saves to your private folder, each team option is a folder shared with that team's public group, and "Everyone" is shared with all users. People only see the folders their group membership allows.

Owners stay in control. Only the owner or an admin can change a template, and that rule is enforced on the server, not just by hiding buttons. Everyone else can view it or clone it to get their own copy.

What's included

What Salesforce HTML email templates includes

Template list

Every template a user can see, searchable, with the name, subject, who it is shared with, the owner and the last modified date.

Upload or paste HTML

Drop in an .html file or paste HTML into a code-style editor, then add a template name and subject.

Live preview

The preview updates as you type, with a Desktop and Mobile toggle for full width or a 375 px phone. Merge fields such as {!Contact.FirstName} show as typed.

Team sharing

One "Share with" choice: Only Me, one option per team, or Everyone, backed by email template folders and public groups.

Attachments

Up to 10 files per template, 5 MB each and 15 MB in total. They stay with the template and go out on test sends.

Test sends

Send to up to 25 addresses, from yourself or from an approved org-wide address like a shared admissions or support inbox. Works before the template is saved.

Clone, not overwrite

Anyone who can see a template can clone it. Only the owner or an admin can change the original.

Safe preview

HTML renders in a locked-down (sandboxed) frame, so scripts in a pasted template cannot run with the viewer's Salesforce login.

Clean install

Every component is new, nothing in your existing setup is changed, so it installs and removes cleanly. Apex tests cover the controller at 95%.

Working with us

Salesforce HTML email templates FAQ

Do users need admin access to make templates?

No. One permission set gives them the tab. They never open Setup.

Where do the templates show up?

Anywhere Salesforce already lets people pick an email template. The builder saves standard Classic HTML (Custom) templates.

Can someone change a template they did not make?

No. Only the owner or an admin can edit it, and that is checked on the server. Anyone who can see it can clone it to get their own copy.

Can I see how it looks on a phone?

Yes. The preview has a Desktop and Mobile toggle, and Mobile shows it at a 375 px phone width.

Do merge fields work?

Yes. Merge fields like {!Contact.FirstName} show as typed in the preview and fill in when the template is sent from a record.

How big can attachments be?

Up to 10 files per template, 5 MB each and 15 MB in total.

How long can the HTML be?

Up to 384,000 characters. The editor shows a running count, and images need full https:// links so they load in the inbox.

Who can I send a test to?

Up to 25 addresses per send. Every address is checked first, and you can send from yourself or from an approved org-wide address.

Does it change anything already in our org?

No. Every piece is new, so it installs and removes cleanly. The tab is not added to any app, so each user adds it to their own navigation bar.

Are you a Salesforce partner?

Yes. Journeys Through Search is a Salesforce partner.

How is it priced?

By project, not by the hour. The first call is free, and you get a project quote after it.
