Thanks for tackling this!

  1. Button text doesn't look fully vertically centered.
  2. I think we've been moving to sentence case rather than title case throughout the app, esp. for button text.
  3. For dark mode we might want to add more contrast to the title color and the button text color.

Extra sentence/link somewhere explaining to the invitee what even is n8n?

<mj-text font-size="24px" color="#ff6d5a"> A workflow has been shared with you </mj-text>
</mj-column>
</mj-section>
<mj-section background-color="#FFFFFF" border="1px solid #ddd">

Not familiar with MJML, maybe there's a way to extract common styles to _common and use CSS classes instead?

while it is possible, I've always struggled it do that in the past. Also, since these are emails, all those styles are likely to be inlined anyways.
I'd like to improve this whole setup, but perhaps in another PR.

Looks like the higher contrast for dark mode didn't work?

not sure how to fix this considering that this dark-mode is likely being done in the client. If I download the html email, and open it the browser, it renders fine in light mode.

Should we make exceptions for field name casing based on filename casing?

I'm fine wither way. Do you prefer one way or the other?

I'd prefer we stay consistent with camelCase, but not a blocker, can be addressed later.
