Thanks & Regards,

[*Note from a CTCT Community Admin: I removed the beginning and ending brackets from the "?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?" line in your post above because that line breaks the "Developer Support" tab in our CTCT "Labs JMML Q&A" Facebook app (apparently, the app is trying to render that line as is, which wouldn't be acceptable in the middle of a page).]

Hi Archana,

It looks like the problem is coming from your EmailContent and EmailTextContent fields. Because of the format of the XML, any HTML tags need to start off with &lt; instead of the actual < symbol. Also, the EmailContent needs to be in a valid HTML format, so be sure to add html and body tags. So, those two tags should look like this:

<EmailContent>&lt;html>&lt;body>&lt;p>hello&lt;/p>&lt;/body>&lt;/html></EmailContent>
<EmailTextContent>&lt;Text>hello&lt;/Text></EmailTextContent>

 Let me know if you have any other problems. Thanks!
