Editor & Export Improvements

Nicki Pabst
Co-founder & Email wizard

A round of quality-of-life improvements for the template editor and the export flow.

Code beautify

The template editor now has a one-click code formatting button that cleans up your HTML and Liquid code — fixing indentation, line breaks, and spacing in an instant. You can also trigger it with Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows).

Batch delete emails

Need to clean up your workspace? You can now select multiple emails from the overview and delete them all at once, instead of removing them one by one.

Minify HTML on export

There's a new integration setting that automatically minifies the exported HTML. Minification strips unnecessary whitespace, comments, and formatting from the output, reducing file size and helping emails load faster in your subscribers' inboxes.

Improved custom feeds

We've expanded custom feed support with better handling of additional XML formats and feed types. If you use data feeds to populate dynamic content in your emails, you should see fewer parsing issues and broader compatibility.

Other fixes and improvements:

  • Added a keyboard shortcut to toggle between code and preview modes in the editor
  • Fixed an issue where long email names could overflow in the overview
  • Fixed a dropzone bug in the editor
  • Corrected modal z-index layering issues

Copy paste got even better

You remember when you could not copying and pasting text from a word document, without also pasting the styling and font - Yes? We fixed that! When you paste anything into a text-field in Better, the text will be cleaned, except links.

Clone emails

You can now clone your email in an instant, and view it straight away.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Improvements

Nicki Pabst
Co-founder & Email wizard

We've shipped a series of improvements to our Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration, making it easier to manage your emails across Content Builder.

Folder and category support

When exporting emails to SFMC, you can now choose which Content Builder folder or category to place them in. No more manually reorganizing assets after every export — just pick the right destination and your email lands exactly where it belongs.

Auto-generate plain text

A new integration setting lets you automatically generate a plain-text version of your email from the HTML when exporting to SFMC. This saves you from having to maintain a separate plain-text version manually, while making sure every campaign has a proper text fallback.

You can now set default values on custom link tracking attributes in the rich text editor. If your organization uses the same tracking parameters across most links, this saves time and reduces errors.

Other fixes and improvements:

  • Fixed character encoding issues when exporting emails to SFMC
  • SFMC now creates a new asset when the original can no longer be found, instead of failing silently
  • Improved error handling and logging for SFMC asset operations

Color picker

We are excited to announce that you'll now have the option to use a color picker directly in the settings. This means you won't have to manually name your colors from a drop-down menu anymore. Additionally, we're introducing a color picker in the rich text menu bar. With this feature, you'll be able to color each word individually, providing you with greater flexibility and customization options.

Rebranding to Better Email

Nicki Pabst
Co-founder & Email wizard

From today onwards, we've changed our name from Alpaco to Better Email.

Better Email logo

The name Alpaco has served us well, but we believe that Better Email more accurately expresses our mission - to help you create better emails!

We would also like to assure you that everything you have come to know and appreciate about Alpaco remains the same, just under a new name and domain: better.email.

There will be no disruptions in services or operations.

In the future, the name Alpaco will no longer be associated with us and the platform you use.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to continuing to help you produce the best emails.

Thank you 🙏

The Better Email Team
