Are you an email marketing tool that wants to give end-users the ability to engage with email examples that you embed on your website?

You embed your code with Parcel, allowing your end-users to easily edit or save email code directly from their website.

Embedding Parcel takes adding two lines of code into your source, and it’s free!

Cerberus is an email template resource that allows email creators to easily take email templates, and edit them. With Cerberus, you can lean on a few simple, but solid patterns for responsive, accessible HTML email in (almost) every email client. ****Cerberus leans on Parcel for this embed feature.

Each template includes an “Edit in Parcel” option which allows developers to quickly pick up the code.
