Use Case: Customizing Email Templates

Imagine you have a specific design for your email templates that aligns with your brand. FluentCRM provides a flexible system for email campaigns, but you want to override the default styling and make your emails stand out. Let’s achieve this by customizing the email template using a simple code snippet.

Code Snippet: Custom Styling for Email Templates

// Add custom styles to FluentCRM email templates
function custom_fluentcrm_email_styles() { ?>
    <style type="text/css">
        /* Your custom styles go here */
        .fluentcrm-email-content {
            background-color: #f0f0f0;
            color: #333;
            padding: 20px;
            border-radius: 5px;
        }

        .fluentcrm-email-content a {
            color: #0073e5;
            text-decoration: none;
        }

        /* Add more styles as needed */
    </style>
<?php
}
add_action('fluent_crm/email_header', 'custom_fluentcrm_email_styles');
