If your business cannot approve a Migma sending domain or ESP integration during a trial, you can still use Migma to design and test the email, then place the exported email into an Outlook message manually.
You do not need domain approval to export the email design. Domain setup is only needed when Migma sends the campaign for you.
Manual Outlook sending uses your Outlook mailbox. Migma cannot manage tracking, unsubscribe handling, suppression lists, deliverability logs, or campaign analytics for messages sent this way.

​
Client-ready answer

Yes. If domain integration cannot be approved for a trial, create and review the email in Migma, export the HTML, then insert the rendered email into Outlook. Best path is:
  1. Run Email Preflight in Migma.
  2. Export the email as HTML from Publish -> Get the Code -> HTML.
  3. Open the exported HTML in a browser and copy the rendered email.
  4. Paste it into an Outlook compose window.
  5. Send a test to yourself before sending to recipients.
For classic Outlook on Windows, you can also insert the HTML file directly with Insert -> Attach File -> Insert as Text.

​
Before you export

1

Confirm consent

Send only to people who gave permission to receive your email. Migma does not allow cold email or purchased lists. See What you can send.
2

Run Email Preflight

Review spam risk, link checks, Outlook rendering, dark mode, and client compatibility before exporting. See Email Preflight.
3

Check compliance content

For commercial email, keep your business identification, postal address where required, and unsubscribe or preference instructions in the email body.

​
Export from Migma

1

Open the email

Open the email or series slot you want to send.
2

Open Publish

Click Publish in the email viewer toolbar.
3

Choose HTML export

Click Get the Code, then choose HTML.
4

Copy or download

Copy the HTML or download the .html file. Downloading is easiest when you plan to open it in a browser or insert it into classic Outlook.
Do not paste raw HTML code into Outlook’s message body. Outlook will usually show it as text. Open the HTML first, then copy the rendered email.

​
Add the email to Outlook

Use this path when Outlook does not show Insert as Text.
1

Open the HTML file

Open the exported .html file in a browser.
2

Copy the rendered email

Select the rendered email in the browser and copy it.
3

Paste into Outlook

Open a new Outlook message and paste the rendered email into the body.
4

Send a test

Send to yourself first. Check layout, links, images, and dark mode if your audience uses Outlook.
New Outlook, Outlook web, and Outlook for Mac may not support Insert as Text. Use the browser copy and paste method in those clients.

​
What may change in Outlook

Outlook is strict about email HTML, especially desktop Outlook. Migma exports table-based, email-safe HTML, but Outlook or Microsoft 365 policies can still adjust the message after you paste or insert it. Common changes:
  • Outlook may remove unsupported CSS or scripts.
  • Your company policy may block external images until recipients click to download them.
  • Images need public URLs. Local image file paths will not work for recipients.
  • Some spacing can shift after Outlook converts the pasted content.
  • Reply and forward views can look different from the original sent message.
Run Email Client Compatibility checks in Migma and send a real Outlook test before client approval.

​
When to use this workaround

Use Outlook export when:
  • You are blocked from approving DNS or a sending domain during a trial.
  • You need a client to preview or approve a Migma-designed email.
  • You are sending a small, manual test from your own mailbox.
  • Your organization requires Outlook as the sending surface.
Do not use this workaround for bulk marketing sends. For production campaigns, use a verified sending domain, an approved ESP integration, or Migma campaign sending so unsubscribe handling, suppression lists, logs, and analytics stay connected.
