Stop Overwriting Custom HTML & Inline Styles in Emails
C
Charlie Stevenson
Description:
Currently, any HTML we input into GHL emails or signatures is aggressively rewritten. Example:
Inputting simple HTML like <div>text</div> gets converted to dozens of nested <div>s and <table>s with forced inline styles, e.g., font-family: Inter, !important padding, and extra <p class="custom-newline"> wrappers.
All links, images, and spacing are wrapped and styled automatically.
Even if we manually correct inline styles, GHL immediately overwrites them.
This breaks any attempt at consistent branding or custom email design. For agencies or multi-location brands with multiple subaccounts, this is a major limitation — it makes email templates effectively uneditable beyond their pre-set styles.
Impact:
Cannot fully control fonts, spacing, or colors.
Email signatures look broken when trying to replicate brand styles.
Inconsistent across multiple subaccounts/brands because GHL forces its own styles.
Inhibits professional, branded email communications.
Request:
Allow an option to disable automatic style overwriting and let users insert raw HTML/CSS that GHL will respect, at least within a “code block” or signature field. This would make custom templates usable and consistent across brands and subaccounts.
