The "confirm your address" email, the "your invoice is ready" email, the "someone invited you" email — they get written in a rush, hardcoded into the codebase or pasted into a sending service, and then nobody can find or review them again. The copy drifts. Nobody knows which version is live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Email Manager fixes that by being the place where email copy is shaped, versioned, and approved \u003Cem>before\u003C\u002Fem> it gets wired into code or handed to your sending provider. It's a specification workspace, not a sending engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the single most important thing to understand: \u003Cstrong>m18t does not send bulk or campaign email.\u003C\u002Fstrong> There is no audience list, no segment builder, no drip-campaign scheduler, no open-rate dashboard. If you want Mailchimp, Resend, or Postmark, m18t doesn't replace them — it feeds them. You write and approve the email here; your provider (or your application code) actually delivers it. There's one exception for testing: you can send a single live test of one email to one address, which is covered below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like everything else in m18t, the repository is per-brand. Switch brands in the sidebar and the \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fhelp\u002Fthe-analytics-event-registry\">Email Manager\u003C\u002Fa> re-shards to that brand's emails — same UI, different set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>The shape of an email record\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Each email in the repository carries:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Slug\u003C\u002Fstrong> in a dotted, namespaced convention — \u003Ccode>auth.user.confirm\u003C\u002Fcode>, \u003Ccode>billing.invoice.ready\u003C\u002Fcode>.
