You built your app with Draftbit because you wanted low-code with full React Native export. AI code assistant, dev handoff ready, and clean code output. The ability to export and continue development makes Draftbit unique. Now you need email that works with your exported React Native project.

Draftbit exports clean React Native code. Unlike locked-in no-code platforms, you own your code and can integrate any email service. This flexibility means the full ecosystem of email tools is available, not just those with native integrations.

This guide covers 11 email marketing tools that work well with Draftbit React Native applications. I focused on platforms with clean APIs that work from any backend. If you are building with a different React Native tool, check out our guides for Rork, a0.dev, or FlutterFlow.

Integration Patterns for Draftbit

Backend API calls

Call email APIs from your backend, not the React Native client. Keep API keys server-side.

Cloud functions

If using Firebase or similar, cloud functions call email APIs on events.

Exported code flexibility

Since Draftbit exports clean code, you can add any integration. No platform lock-in.

The Bottom Line

For Draftbit apps, Sequenzy offers powerful automation via clean REST API. For React ecosystem fit, Resend. For mobile SDK, Customer.io.
