[DMul]

Hi hello Hubspot,
I would like to code an email template from scratch so i have total control over my HTML head section and thereby use the "dnd_area" HubL Tags to enable the use the D&D functionality.

When custom template is combined with the "dnd_area" HubL TagsI could write my own HTML code including the head section and be able to use my custom made modules. That would be a very strong solution for those who want full control over there source code.

I agree. This is needed.

Hi Micheal,

We’re running into an image scaling issue when using these email DnD areas in the testing environment. Where can we ask a question about this or talk to someone?

Hi @Mícheál - can you share some of your ideas so we can give feedback to help scope this out?

Things I'd like to see -

The ability to duplicate a module

Create module groups

Choose module variants (image left or image right etc)

Lastly, please remove all drag and drop code cruft when sending the email.

This comes from one of our content editors:

In the HubSpot marketing email drag-and-drop editor, the only way to add text on top of an image is to make the image the “body pattern” of the component / layout. However, when this is done, there is an issue with the formatting of that issue on mobile. When you add an image as a “body pattern”, you have the option of having this image be “tile” or “stretch”. If tile is selected, then the image can appear multiple times. If stretch is selected, it looks like the image keeps its height but squishes the width of the image. See screenshots below (2) for reference.

Hi there,

This new feature has the capability of resolving so much frustration that we have had (design, flexiblity etc.). On https://app.hubspot.com/whats-new/1918859/all?productUpdateId=13888216, it says there is a private beta now, but I cannot apply anywhere. What would I have to do for us to take part?

This is something we desperately want/need.  How do we get involved in the beta?
