Legacy Email Designer to New Email Designer conversion tool

Marketo Engage users who have significant investment in email assets build in the legacy email designer need a “push button” way to convert old email assets to the format used by the new email designer.  Adoption of the New Email Builder is being hampered because New Email Designer assets are fundamentally different asset types, and switching to the new email editor for organizations that have significant investments in nurture programs are akin to doing a full Marketing Automation migration, which is not to be desired.

    Agreed to your point ​@Chris_Willis1, Currently, we are creating assets in the new email designer and attempting to match the layout; however, we are facing significant issues.

    We frequently encounter problems with background images in Outlook, and the mobile view fails to render as expected because the designer automatically forces mobile designs to conform to the desktop layout.

    We cannot customize them as intended without resorting to custom HTML for certain sections.

    Additionally, there are issues with dark mode. Sometimes a layout works perfectly, but when we reuse that same layout in another module—or even copy the exact code—it fails to render correctly.

    A conversion tool for legacy email assets would make adopting the New Email Designer much easier. Rebuilding large email libraries manually is time-consuming, so even a partial automated migration would save significant effort and speed up adoption.

      Agreed.
