Adding Code Script into an email - Validation error Email Message has script tags

Hi all,

I am trying to send out an email containing a piece of code to customers. I want it to look like this: <script src="{{my.Snippet:default=edit me}}"> </script>

I have created the "<" to be "&lt;" in HTML, however it is still doesn't allow me to validate the email.

It says that the Email Message has script tags.

Can someone advise?

thanks

I was successfully able to do this using this: <code>&lt;script src="//{{lead.Snippet Code:default=edit me}}"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code> !

Hi Alison,

Could you explain in a bit more detail about what exactly the code was that you inserted into the email? Was it javascript? Do you have an example of the final email?

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Gerard

Gerard, what Allison is doing here is "inserting code" in the sense that I could "insert code" into this Community post.  Not runnable code but displayable code.  Imagine if you were sending out a newsletter with JavaScript tips.  The email isn't running the code, but it is setting off the code with special formatting.

    Hey Allison,

    You created a snippet with the body of the script?

    I tried putting the original script in <code> like your above example but MKTO wouldn't approve the email.

    Did you HTML-encode the < and >?

    There is no email program that will allow this? Support notified me that if I use ASCII art in the email it should work. Why are you not allowed to use this?

    Thank you!

    You are not allowed to put scripts into emails. No email program will permit this.

    You should send the lead to a landing page instead.
