Stripo license & editor question

We're looking to use a different editor as Grapejs is full of bugs. Grapejs appears to be in early beta base on the amount of issues we found, so we need a more stable editor.

Our customers absolutely hate grapejs and we have the support tickets and comments to prove it. It's simply creating an expensive burden on our support staff and wasting resources. Grapejs should not be used at all and should be overhauled.

We have an extension for Unlayer, but unlayer uses json files and you cannot use the gallery templates or import, you have to use their templates or start building in Unlayer first, so not an ideal setup. Customers should be allowed to switch back and forth regardless of wher they strared. Not sure why they chose this route, but it's absolute bonkers.

Getting to my point, it appears Stripo only allows for a single user license w/ Mailwizz? Is that corrrect?

Also, does Stripo use html templates like the MW ckeditor?

I'm assuming MW chose Stripo because it integrates more smoothly than Unlayer?

We need to figure this out fast as we have a janky setup right now to get away from Grapejs beta version.

Thanks

I think you just need your own Stripo plugin license: https://stripo.email/plugin/ - pick the features you need.
We're only using Stripo externally and push the emails into MW via API. It's an amazing builder, hands down the best we've ever used.

Thanks for the info. Our main issue w Unlayer and Stripo is they don't use html templates and also we couldn't get the Stripo or Unlayer library to load in MW.

Do you mind elaborating on our setup, such as the external part?

Do you have a demo login so we can see what your are doing? If using for only personal use, disregard.

We're just trying to solve this very messy situation with the MW editor. Not sure why it's so messy.

Thank you
 
Yes, we have an agency account with Stripo and build all our emails directly there + give our clients access to their own Stripo projects where they can build their own emails. From there they can push their finished emails directly into their MW account with a single push of a button (API setup) and pick them up from their template library. We've never had an issue and this works great for us.

The additional benefit to our clients is that they can also use Stripo to occasionally push templates into their Google Workspace or other Email tools.

The most powerful Stripo experience is directly inside Stripo. You'll never be able to get that same impressive email builder UI via the plugin solution. So we never bothered. It might seem disjointed, but it's just a different workflow:
  • build your email inside Stripo where you also test it and share a preview link with your team (a feature missing in MW)
  • once you're happy, push the email into MW and broadcast it from there
Really simple.

Thanks for the info. Our developer has customized our Mailwizz extensively and we have Stripo working well in MW now complete with templates so our customers have a seamless experience.
 
Can anyone show or direct me how to setup Stripo in the backend!! can't see anyway to add this for clients usage to build templates
 
@WasabiBoy You find this in Backend > Extend > Extensions > Email Template Builder click on this and then you will be able to select Stripo as Content Builder, add you Stripo keys here and that is all you need to do.

Thanks. But I don't have that option under Extend? Only Themes and Languages

Check if you are using the correct backend user, this si not available only if you are a user which make part of group and that group is not allowed to view extensions.

Would you be able to assist in any way even if we pay to help us with that too?

Very interesting how you've setup MailWizz and Stripo. Just a couple of questions:

1. How do you white-label when you have to push templates from Stripo to MailWizz? Or are you providing MailWizz managed hosting type of solution?
2. I was looking at Stripo plan but couldn't find any Agency account option. How did you get this one across?

Cheers!

Strippo looks cool, I think great for opted-in transactional emails? But for cold emailing campaigns, doesn't it create deliverability issues because of two things?

It is not using very old school correctly limited use of html, that I believe is best for getting through many of the spam filters. That is to say that's why I continue to use beefree.io because it brutally sticks to the old email standard minamalist html. Maybe I am wrong on this, please let me know.

The other thing is because much of Strippos' cool things, like CSS calls, are directed to and stored on their own servers. Which propogates lookup locations in the email body that are not coming from your own dedicated root domain/mailbox. So I "think" that the spam filters will see those as additional external links, which is of course problematic in cold emailing. Maybe I am wrong on this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Well, I'm not an expert in this domain. But from my personal experience, I've also seen simpler stuff going through the filters easily. And not just this, better ranking on search engines as well because it's easier for them to process minimal HTML.

Again I'm not an expert, but I think spam filters are quite smart and should be maintaining a whitelist of popular email builders. probably same as CDNs. I'm not a big fan of paid email builders like Stripo. I've tested all three shipped with MailWizz - Basic, Grape.JS and Stripo - and Stripo seems the best. Although I do believe there should be a better email builder native to MailWizz.

@twisted1919 - Would you consider integrating EmailBuilder.js (https://www.usewaypoint.com/open-source/emailbuilderjs)? I've tested it. Open-source looks good and modern to me. Just my thought.

Cheers!
