YayMagic Email Builder

0/5 (0 ratings) — active installs Updated Sep 24, 2026

WordPress sends plain, unbranded emails by default.

Email Builder lets you redesign these emails visually, with a drag-and-drop editor, ready-made elements, and a live preview, without writing any code.

Everything in this plugin is fully functional. There are no locked elements, trial periods, usage limits, or license keys.

Features

  • Drag & Drop Editor: Build and rearrange email content on a visual canvas
  • Element Library: Logo, Email Heading, Title, Text, Text List, Button, Image, Image Box, Image List, Video, Divider, Space, Column Layouts, Social Icons, Rating Stars, HTML, Hook, Footer
  • Patterns: Insert ready-made section patterns (headers, footers, banners, and more) with one click
  • Global Header & Footer: Set a shared header and footer used across all emails
  • Dynamic Shortcodes: Insert user and site data automatically
  • Live Preview & Test Email: Preview an email and send a test before saving
  • Import/Export: Move templates between sites as JSON
  • Revisions & Backups: Restore earlier versions of a template
  • Supports Core WordPress Emails: New account and reset password emails

External Services

This plugin does not phone home, collect telemetry, or check license keys. The only outbound connections are:

WordPress.org Plugin API (api.wordpress.org, downloads.wordpress.org)
Used only when an administrator clicks an install button on the “Recommended Plugins” page or the “Install YaySMTP” button in the Send Test Email dialog. It fetches plugin information and the plugin package from WordPress.org, exactly like the core Plugins > Add New screen. Nothing is sent except the standard request WordPress itself makes.

YayCommerce website (yaycommerce.com)
Support links only. The “Help” menu item opens https://yaycommerce.com/support/ in your browser. The plugin itself never sends data to this domain.

Source Code

The complete, human-readable source of this plugin, including the uncompiled source of the editor bundle and the build tooling, is public at:

https://github.com/YayCommerce/email-builder

The compiled files under assets/dist/yaymail/ (yaymail-main.tsx-*.js, vendor_antd_*.js, yaymail-main-*.css) are built from the React/TypeScript application in apps/customizer/src with Vite. To rebuild them:

  1. cd apps/customizer
  2. pnpm install
  3. pnpm build (runs tsc && vite build; output is written to assets/dist/yaymail/)
  4. cd ../.. then node rewrite-text-domain.js assets (the editor source is shared with the YayMail plugin and uses the yaymail text domain; this rewrites the compiled bundle to this plugin’s slug, exactly as the release script zip.sh does)

Third-party libraries compiled into that bundle (all under MIT-compatible licenses, declared in package.json / apps/customizer/package.json): React, React DOM, React Router, Ant Design (antd, @ant-design/icons), @wordpress/i18n, Zustand, Immer, react-query, Axios, Day.js, Moment.js, SortableJS / react-sortablejs, Ace editor (ace-builds, react-ace), react-custom-scrollbars-2, react-error-boundary, JSZip, lodash.get, copy-to-clipboard, uuid.

The PHP code under vendor-prefixed/ is the YayCommerce admin-shell library (shared admin menu and pages). It is plain, unminified PHP that has only had its namespaces prefixed with PHP-Scoper (scoper.inc.php) to avoid conflicts with other plugins; the same files are in the repository above.
