What Is Unlayer?
Unlayer provides an embeddable email editor for SaaS products, CRMs, and internal applications, saving users from building an editor from scratch. Its SDK supports white-label styling, custom tools, merge tags, role-based access, real-time collaboration, design JSON, and HTML export, while the newer AI Assistant can generate or modify editable designs through natural-language prompts.
Best for: Software teams embedding a branded email-creation experience inside their own SaaS, CRM, or marketing product.
Unlayer differs from most email builders because it can be embedded inside another software product. Vendors can integrate the editor and store or export the resulting HTML and JSON, while standalone users can create email, page, and popup assets; the platform does not replace the sending and subscriber systems that consume those designs.
