So here’s what I did.
For building the actual email first, How to Build Emails with Claude Code and MJML covers that part.
1. First Stop: Mail-Tester
I went to mail-tester.com, grabbed the weird little temporary email address they gave me, added it to my Loops list, and sent my email.
Score came back great. 9.5/10. Huge win.
2. Then I Tried My Personal Gmail
I added my own personal email to the Loops list because I wanted to see where it actually lands in a real inbox.
It didn’t go to Spam (yay), but it also didn’t hit my inbox.
Instead it went to this weird purgatory: All Mail.
No clue why Gmail does this, but it’s not the inbox and it’s not spam… it’s like the middle child.
3. So Now the Question Is: How Do I Fix That?
And honestly… I don’t know if I can fully fix that myself. At least not instantly.
I’m now going to run some tests by asking 10 friends to help me out.
A note from Alex: this one was written by me.
