customersTo repeat an email block for each item in a list, configure a merge-tag loop, attach its repeat rule to one block, and pass the list of values when exporting HTML. In Unlayer, customers edit that block once; your application supplies the data for each repetition. This tutorial applies the technique to real estate listing emails, with one text-first card per property and editable design JSON saved separately from the campaign’s HTML.https://unlayer.com/blog/customer-editable-property-listing-emails
customersThis tutorial creates a small authoring page, not a CRM or sending service. Start with text-first cards: they remain useful when a property has no photo. You’ll create one listing block, export two fictional homes, save and reload the editable template, and stop export when no available homes remain.https://unlayer.com/blog/customer-editable-property-listing-emails

customersCreate an Unlayer project, get its ID from Project > Settings, and serve the following page through your existing application’s development server. Replace `1234` with that project ID.
