# BEEeditor Integration Implementation Summary

## ✅ Implementation Completed

The BEEeditor integration has been successfully added to the Cakemail MCP Server. Here's what has been implemented:

### 🏗️ Core Infrastructure

1. **Schema Support**: Added `simple_unified.schema.json` to `/src/schema/` defining the complete BEEeditor JSON format
2. **Type Definitions**: Created comprehensive TypeScript types in `/src/types/bee-editor.ts` for:
   - BEE template structure (rows, columns, modules)
   - All 10 module types (button, divider, heading, html, icons, image, list, menu, paragraph, title)
   - Template settings and metadata
   - Validation interfaces

3. **Utility Functions**: Built powerful utilities in `/src/utils/bee-editor.ts` for:
   - Creating basic BEE templates
   - Generating newsletter templates with multiple sections
   - Validating templates against schema
   - Adding/manipulating template content
   - Converting BEE data to Cakemail requests
   - Template structure visualization

### 🛠️ New Tools Added

1. **Enhanced Campaign Tools**:
   - `cakemail_create_campaign` - Now supports both HTML and BEE formats
   - `cakemail_update_campaign` - Can update campaigns with BEE content
   
2. **BEE-Specific Tools**:
   - `cakemail_create_bee_template` - Create basic BEE template structures
   - `cakemail_create_bee_newsletter` - Generate complete newsletter templates
   - `cakemail_validate_bee_template` - Validate BEE JSON against schema

### 📝 Enhanced Handlers

Updated campaign handlers in `/src/handlers/campaigns.ts` to:
- Support BEE JSON content in campaign creation/updates
- Validate BEE templates before processing
- Provide detailed error messages for validation failures

      "content": "Introducing our latest innovation...",
      "buttonText": "Learn More",
      "buttonUrl": "https://example.com/product"
    }
  ]
});
```

### Creating a Campaign with BEE Content

- Template importing/exporting
- Visual template preview generation

## 📋 Testing

To test the BEE integration:
