HubSpot needs a true drag-and-drop HTML email import function, like Mailchimp’s .zip upload feature, for users who work with custom email templates. This feature would allow users to upload a .zip file containing an HTML file and associated images, and have the email auto-populated with correct image paths, structure, and styling, no manual reformatting needed.
This would dramatically streamline the process for marketers and designers, especially **smaller teams** and **users managing frequent sponsored or external partner emails**. Right now, I spend excessive time (often with AI help) trying to reformat perfectly valid HTML just to make it work in HubSpot. Even when following HubSpot’s rules, I constantly run into issues with nesting, inlining styles, and image hosting.
I’ve tried creating a reusable template, but even that’s frustrating. Our footer never renders correctly, and maintaining formatting consistency is difficult. A proper zip upload would save hours and improve reliability. Mailchimp does this effortlessly. HubSpot should too.
This feature would benefit:
- Marketing teams managing external content/sponsored emails
- Users transitioning from design files or other email platforms
- Anyone needing full control over their email layout while still using HubSpot’s tools
