Adding Tables to 3rd Generation

We had a thread about adding tables to third generation emails but a moderator closed it saying now that we can use 5 columns that should solve the problem.

 

Guess what, it does not come close to solving the problem. There is no way to line up text except tables. adding columns does not work because the columns will not always display side by side.

With the introduction of our cross-device editor, tables can be added to a campaign.

 

When viewed on a mobile device, your table won’t resize to fit the screen. If your table is wider than the screen, contacts will need to scroll horizontally to see the full table. Testing is especially important when using a table so you can experience what your contacts will see.

in the past we have imported tables (excell/word) into our emails.

your "new" editor does not allow for this.

this was a VERY important feature we used in creating our emails.

the two previous editors both allowed for the importation of information.

Why would you provide a new editor that does not provide the same features as the ones you are replacing?

Hi @PJsQuilt does our current RSVP block help fit these needs? If not what capabilities are you looking for to market your classes?

I would like to see a Calendar format module to be able to add into my marketing emails for classes.  Do you have something like that?


While we do not have a calendar template, a table might be the closest option. The request to create a table is under review so I will move this idea to the appropriate thread.
