Pro archive

This workflow is part of the Pro archive. Use it when this send is recurring enough that source ownership, QA notes, variants, and handoff context matter more than a one-off template.

Workflow pages expose the production shape before purchase: trigger, goal, required fields, variants, QA risks, handoff steps, and linked layout. The paid archive adds the editable source and compiled output for the workflows included in your tier.

What the production package needs.

A workflow is useful when the implementation contract is visible before anyone starts editing markup.

event.timestamp_utc

Example: 2026-04-09T08:12:00Z

Time of the detected event.

event.location_hint

Example: Manchester, UK (Chrome on macOS)

Approximate location or device context.

security.review_url

Example: https://app.example.com/security/activity

Destination to confirm or deny the event.

Variant routes

  • Confirmed safe: Reassurance variant when the user approves the event.
  • Access blocked: Escalation variant when account lock or reset is triggered.

Package access

  • Public workflow page: intent, trigger, required fields, variants, QA risks, handoff steps, and linked layout.
  • Full MJML source for this workflow
  • Compiled HTML output ready for ESP upload
  • Variant-ready workflow pack files

Open layout

QA and handoff.

The value is not only the rendered email. It is knowing what has to be checked before the ESP takes over.

QA risks to review

  • Urgency copy can read as phishing-like if sender identity markers are weak.
  • Action links must remain visible in dark mode, especially in mobile clients.

Handoff steps

  • Edit copy and block order in MJML, keeping utility and footer sections unchanged unless requirements demand it.
  • Compile MJML to HTML and run client checks in Gmail, Outlook Desktop, and Apple Mail before handoff.
  • Import compiled HTML into the ESP, map merge variables, and send an internal seed round for QA sign-off.

Template Hedgehog prepares the source, compiled output, preview, QA notes, and handoff context. Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce, NetSuite, Klaviyo, Customer.io, or your ESP still handle audiences, consent, unsubscribe, automation, sending, delivery, and reporting.

Use this workflow inside Pro.

Pro is the archive for teams that keep rebuilding production emails and need repeatable workflows, editable MJML, compiled HTML, QA notes, implementation guidance, and updates.
