            (Optional) This text will appear in the inbox preview, but not the email body. It can be used to supplement the email subject line or even summarize the email's contents.

Re: Invalid Module

You'll find people are more willing/able to help if you highlight your HTML using the Advanced Editor's syntax highlighter.  Choose XML from the language list.

Re: Invalid Module

Hey Chris-

It looks like the issue here might be that you've got your "Container" set on the table and your "Modules" set on the <td> elements. Here's a link to the documentation for Modules: Email Template Syntax - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation -- basically, the rule here is that the modules need to be the first child element inside the container. If you're using a <table> like you've got it setup, then the <tr> elements need to be your Modules. This would look like one big wrapper table (the container) and a bunch of rows (modules) stacked on top of eachother [this is normally how I set them up]. It's also possible to use a <td> as the container and then stack <table>s directly inside that cell as modules.

For containers of type <table>, <tbody>, <thead>, or <tfoot>:

Specified using <tr> with class=”mktoModule”

For containers of type <td>:

Specified using <table> with class="mktoModule"

<table class="mktoContainer">

<tr class="mktoModule">

<td>Module 1 stuff goes here</td>

</tr>

<tr class="mktoModule">

     <td>

          <table><tr><td>Add nested tables inside a cell if needed</td></tr></table>

     </td>

</tr>

</table>
