Hello Support,

Please could you assist as I am trying to push an HTML template via the API - this is the following error we receiving;

object(stdClass)#482 (2) {
      ["error_key"]=>
      string(40) "json.payload.contains_invalid_characters"
      ["error_message"]=>
      string(58) "The request contains text outside supported character set."
    }
  }

Please could you assist.?

Hi @user5921094,

Our system uses UTF-8, or 8-bit character set. If you are receiving this error you are most likely using a character set that is not supported. Can you verify if you are using a different character set?

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

  <head>

		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=ISO-8859-1" />

  </head>

	<body>

		<table class="main" style="width:612px; text-align:center; margin: 0 auto; border: 0px;padding:0px;border-spacing:0px">

Thank you Jimmy, so the charset which I am using is incorrect?

Sorry Jimmy,

Note I am using V2.

Hi @user5921094,

The character set you are specifying is fine; however are you including any actual characters in the text you are submitting that is outside of the standard character set allowed by the one you are specifying?
