Action Network Email Authoring Notes

Action Network Archive

Action Network doesnʻt have an email archive feature, so I figured out a way to develop an archive.

  1. Get a WordPress website. Use WordPress to author the email. Donʻt use a bunch of the layout or composition features. Just use headings, paragraphs, and images.
  2. Publish the page. Do not delete it, because the site hosts images.
  3. Copy paste the rendered web page into the Action Network email. Use the visual HTML editor (do not paste HTML code).

What didnʻt work?

CryptPad Document to ActionNetwork: images didnʻt work. Archiving was not great.

CryptPad Rich Text to ActionNetwork: same as above.

CryptPad Code/Markdown to ActionNetwork: same as above.

CryptPad -> export html: same as above.

Plain HTML: pain in the ass to write, and no archiving.

ActionNetwork -> CryptPad: Images didnʻt transfer over.

ActionNetwork -> WordPress: I didnʻt even bother to try this.

The main problem with all the options was twofold: image hosting, and then producing an archive.

Authoring in WordPress first solves all the problems.
