On first glance, the blank Mautic theme looks like the perfect starting point for a simple HTML email, you just drag and drop the elements that you need into the layouts, add your images and text, select some colours and it’s done.
Unfortunately, after testing the resulting emails in different email clients and web apps the results weren’t totally as expected and Outlook (Of course) was all over the place.

Tagging WordPress and Woocomerce Users in Mautic
The official WordPress plugin for Mauitc comes with a number of shortcodes, which makes it easy to add Mautic forms and content into posts and pages.
