About Agency
We retired the Agency plan on March 30, 2022. It's no longer available to purchase. It was replaced by our Enterprise plan. This article serves as a point of reference for our Legacy Agency subscribers. Please note that the term "Workspace" replaced "Brands" on the same date.
The Agency plan includes all the same features now available in the Enterprise plan.
Support for Multiple Workspaces
Are you designing an email promotion for a client? Or are you designing transactional emails for your e-commerce business unit? Assign Project folders to Workspaces to better manage your design creation workflow. You can connect each workspace to their own Mailchimp, HubSpot, SendGrid, etc. account. This can help to create efficiency in your export workflow.
User Access Permissions
Do you need to temporarily employ a freelancer to help with an email project for a customer? You can easily grant and remove permissions to access a workspace. You can also leverage user roles to decide who can do what in each workspace. For example, restrict access to locked content directly within the BEE builder.
Workspace Style and Settings
For each workspace, you can define:
- custom templates
- whether to show default templates
- frequently-used merge tags and special links
- workspace styles
- default fonts
- custom fonts
- users
- connectors to other applications
- and more. See Using worskspaces in BEE Pro.
Workspace settings are automatically loaded inside the BEE builder for that workspace. This enables you to restrict your users to certain styles, such as fonts and templates.
Learn more about how to use workspaces in BEE Pro Agency.
Add comments and mentions to your designs
The commenting feature allows you to add a comment to content blocks and rows. You can also add a tag with your colleagues' names. They will receive a notification in their email inbox. Users can also check notifications in the dedicated notifications center.
Connect to premium connectors
There are plenty of connectors you can take advantage of, together with the standard ones. You can also push your emails to Active Campaign, Hubspot, Klaviyo, and Sendgrid.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

When will the agency version be available? I asked this on a much older thread but I am trying to see if this email solution would be a good one for our team of 5 email specialists. We need to be able to drag and drop already designed customized footers, headers, etc. into in-house designed email templates. Do any of the versions allow for custom created content/components that can be shared across team and dropped in similar to the content portion of the tool?
Also, would we have the ability to have a designer create templates in the builder tool then the EMS import that code for easy changes?
Hi Stephanie, BEE Pro Agency is scheduled to launch mid-September.
Your team will be able to create custom templates, but the feature to drag-n-drop pre-built structures (footers, headers, etc.) wont be available at launch.
This feature that we call "partials" is going to be available in BEE Plugin for developers and SaaS companies, but isn't scheduled for BEE Pro Agency in our current roadmap.
Hi Sergio - Can the custom templates currently be created and saved using BEE Plugin? Also, when will the partials feature be available in BEE Plugin?
Hi Stephanie,
I just wanted to quickly clarify the difference between BEE Pro and BEE Plugin. BEE Plugin allows software companies to take the BEE editor and embed it in their software. If you are a software developer, you use BEE Plugin to add a great drag-n-drop editor to your product.
So the answer to your question is "yes": once you have integrated BEE into your software application using our embeddable plugin, you can certainly let users of your application save email templates with the editor.
If you are not a software developer, then BEE Plugin is not the right product for you and BEE Pro is indeed the way to go.
Now, once "Partials" ( = using & saving pieces of content) as a feature has been added to the editor, then every application that uses the editor - including BEE Pro - can make use of it. The feature will allow a BEE Pro user to save a footer and re-use it in another message, for example.
As Sergio mentioned above, it will take a bit of time for BEE Pro to take advantage of "partials", simply because - once the feature is ready for all applications that use BEE, including BEE Pro - the team in our company that works on BEE Pro will have to integrate it into the BEE Pro application (e.g. saving those "partials" somewhere, etc.). Probably something that will come to BEE Pro toward the end of the year or beginning of 2018.
We hope this helps clarify things!
Just curious if the Agency version has launched yet -- if not, what the new launch timing is.
We're getting there! We hope to ship by mid October and present it at ADOBE MAX 2017, where we will have a booth (booth #285, https://max.adobe.com/).
Would it be possible to chat with someone there regarding the agency model more in depth? Our team is trying to determine which model (Agency or Team) would work better for our needs and if it makes sense to wait for Agency to be released.
Hi Stephanie, yes, we can gladly schedule a demo sometime next week. I've opened a separate customer support ticket to continue the conversation.
