Internet Explorer 11 isn’t supported. Enhanced letterheads aren’t supported. There isn’t any API support, and we can’t create email templates using the API. For example, if we use the API to update the HTML Value field, the value is out of sync. Email Template Builder and Email Content Builder have these limits:
- 250 components per email template or email content record
- 100 components per region (component container)
- 10K characters for each component’s property value in the HTML Value field of the HTML component, clicking Format may push you over the character limit. In that case, can’t save your template. Undo the formatting or shorten the HTML and add another HTML block for the rest of the content.
