AMP Email Best Practices for 2025

AMP for Email is a powerful technology that enables interactive, dynamic content in emails. Here are the best practices for 2025:

Understanding AMP for Email

AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) for Email extends the AMP framework to email clients. It allows you to create emails that can update content, handle user interactions, and provide real-time data—all within the email itself.

Best Practices

1. Always Provide Fallbacks

Not all email clients support AMP. Always include:

• HTML version (for non-AMP clients)
• Plain text version (for accessibility)

2. Keep It Simple

While AMP emails can be complex, simplicity often wins:

• Focus on one primary action per email
• Don't overload with too many interactive elements
• Test on multiple devices and clients

3. Optimize for Performance

• Minimize JavaScript usage
• Use efficient data fetching
• Cache responses when possible
• Compress images and assets

4. Security First

• Validate all user inputs
• Use HTTPS for all external requests
• Implement proper CORS policies
• Sanitize data before display

5. Test Thoroughly

Test your AMP emails across:

• Gmail (desktop and mobile)
• Outlook (desktop and web)
• Yahoo Mail
• Apple Mail (with AMP support)

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Forgetting Fallbacks: Always test in non-AMP clients 2. Overcomplicating: Start simple and add complexity gradually 3. Ignoring Mobile: Most emails are opened on mobile devices 4. Poor Error Handling: Plan for network failures and errors 5. Not Monitoring: Track performance and user interactions

Getting Started
