Introduction

What is the Aurora SendCloud Editor Plugin?

The Aurora SendCloud Editor Plugin is a white-label, AI-driven email editor designed for seamless integration into your own platform.

It enables your users to create and edit email content directly within your product, while your server manages authentication, email logs, content delivery, and usage tracking.

With this plugin, you can provide your users with a comprehensive, native-feeling email creation experience—complete with AI email generation, AI-powered rewriting, drag-and-drop editing, prebuilt templates, Inbox Preview, and flexible import/export capabilities.

Who it is for

The Editor plugin is built for platforms looking to offer powerful email creation capabilities without building an editor from scratch, including:

• SaaS platforms
• CRMs
• ESPs
• Marketing platforms
• Customer portals
• Internal campaign or lifecycle marketing tools

Your users remain seamlessly within your existing authentication system. They can launch the editor directly from your product, customize their email content, and securely save it back to your server via a Push URL callback.

What your users can do

With the Editor plugin, your end users can:

• Generate complete email content using AI.
• Rewrite selected sections, text, or images with AI.
• Design emails effortlessly with a drag-and-drop builder.
• Start quickly with prebuilt email templates.
• Preview how emails render across various email clients and devices.
• Import existing HTML or JSON templates.
• Export completed email HTML and editor JSON configurations.

What your team controls

Your team manages the plugin centrally from the Platform Console and Application workspace, where you can configure:

• Applications: Separate configurations for different products, customers, or environments.
• API Credentials: Keys for secure backend access.
• Embed Methods: Custom embedding options and editor launch behaviors.
• Push URL Callbacks: Automated endpoints for capturing saved email content.
• Brand Appearance: Customized styling, including logos and interface themes.
• Domain Settings: Dedicated domains for editor access.
• Editor Controls: Managed variables, permissions, and supported content options.
• End-User Credits: Credit allocation and usage tracking for your users.

What you need to integrate

Before integrating the Editor plugin, ensure you have the following components ready:

⚠️

Security Note: To maintain account security, your frontend should never call Aurora SendCloud APIs directly. Keep all API credentials and end-user tokens securely on your backend, and pass only short-lived editor access codes to the client browser.

Core Object model

The Editor plugin uses four main objects:

Account
  -> Platform Console
      -> Application
          -> End User

For detailed definitions, see Core Concepts.

How it works

At a high level, the integration workflow follows these steps:

1. Set up your Application: Create or select an Application within the Platform Console.
2. Secure credentials: Store the application's API credentials securely on your backend server.
3. Map users: Connect your product's users to Aurora SendCloud End Users using your external identifiers.
4. Generate an access code: Initialize an email record on your server to request a short-lived, temporary editor access code.
5. Launch the interface: Open the editor on your frontend via an iframe or a new window using the generated URL.
6. Trigger the callback: When a user clicks save, the Editor plugin automatically sends the content payload to your Push URL.
7. Save and resume: Your server captures the returned email content and resumes your product's standard workflow.

Editor launch methods

The Editor plugin supports two launch methods:

Both methods use the same backend authentication flow and the same Push URL callback flow.
