React Email

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate and render responsive email templates using React components within the Novu notification infrastructure. It bridges the gap between modern frontend development and email delivery, allowing for dynamic, visually rich communications directly from code.

When to use it

• Building transactional emails that require complex layouts or interactive elements standard HTML cannot easily support.
• Creating personalized marketing campaigns where content needs to be dynamically injected via React props.
• Developing a unified frontend codebase for both web applications and email notifications to maintain design consistency.

Key capabilities

• React-based Rendering: Composes emails using standard React components instead of static HTML strings.
• Novu Integration: Seamlessly connects with the Novu notification platform for delivery management.
• Responsive Design: Automatically adapts templates to various email clients and device sizes through React styling.
• Component Reusability: Leverages existing UI libraries and component logic to speed up template creation.

Example prompts

• "Create a welcome email template using the Novu react-email skill that includes a hero image, a feature list, and a primary call-to-action button."
• "Generate an order confirmation email where the product details are passed as React props to render dynamic content based on user data."
• "Build a password reset flow with a clean, centered layout using standard React components via the novuhq/novu/react-email skill."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your development environment supports the specific version of React required by the Novu library to avoid rendering errors. While this offers high flexibility, verify that the generated email code complies with strict email client security filters and CSS limitations before deploying to production.
