Smart Emails uses Shopify Metafields for supported live settings. These values are read when Shopify creates an email. Structural changes remain part of the installed HTML and require a new export.
Instant (no re-export)
- Colors (background, text, links, buttons)
- Typography (font family, sizes)
- Button styling (filled, outline, radius)
- Header logo (image, size, alignment)
- Footer text (legal, copyright, social links, free text)
- Message Banner (text, colors, on/off per template)
- Supported marketing-section content and visibility, including discounts, products, gift cards, and reorder settings
- Per-language footer, Shop Links, Message Banner, and marketing text stored in locale-specific Metafields
Requires re-export
- Adding or removing sections
- Changing section order
- Switching to a different base preset
- Converter updates that change the generated HTML structure
Important: Primary template HTML cannot be replaced automatically through Shopify's API. When Smart Emails shows a re-export notice, copy the newly generated primary-language code to Shopify. Supported installed secondary-language bodies can then be synchronized automatically.
