Read full answer below βQuestion
Hello, Please i'm in need of the logic on how to the import template modal on initialization of the page... I'm using the newsletter preset plugin
What i'm trying to achieve?: Make the user upload their code once the page has been loaded.
Below are the logics I've tried,
`
editor.on('load',(model, argument )=> {
//open modAL
const modal = edit.Modal;
const cmdd = edit.Commands;
//filter using component name
if (model.getName() === 'Import template') { //not working
//show modal
modal.open();
}
edit.on('modal:', (a, b, c) => { //not working
console.log({ a });
console.log({ b });
console.log({ c });
});
cmdd.run('modal:import-template', (a, b, c) => { //not working
console.log({ a });
console.log({ b });
console.log({ c });
});
}`

Noted. Thanks
Hi @artf,
I was able to get what I want by triggering click() on the button itself,
`
const modal = edit.Modal;
const query = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
const uploadQuery = query.get('key');
if (uploadQuery === 'upload-code') {
const importClick = document.querySelector('.gjs-pn-btn.fa.fa-download');
importClick.click();
edit.on('modal', (e) => {
if (e.open && e.title.textContent === 'Import template') {
modal.setTitle('<div>Import your Template [inline-html/css]</div>');
}
});
}
`
If there's a better workaround, i'd be glad If you share with me the knowledge.

Thanks for reporting this, @boomshakar.
Great question about How to trigger the 'Import Template (modal)' on page load. The recommended approach with Components is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
