Email development is often riddled with mundane, repetitive tasks: writing inline CSS, adding UTM codes, sending test emails, and copying and pasting to your ESP. Task runners allow you to automate the repeatable parts of your email development workflow. But manually setting up and maintaining task runners can be difficult and challenging, especially for those less experienced with command line, Git, and JavaScript. Kevin Mandeville, Litmus' own email design extraordinaire, will take you through all of the task runners in Litmus Builder that are available out-of-the-box to streamline your email development workflow. In this webinar, he'll explore how to leverage all of the power of Litmus Builder to cut your development time in half.
