Warning:
Please refrain from using the source code editor if you are not proficient with HTML. There is the potential to break your emails here. Be cautious and consult an expert when needed. Introducing custom code to your site can open you up to vulnerabilities and potential malware attacks. We recommend using vulnerability tools like VirusTotal or Snyk to scan any custom code that you intend to use and apply certain best practices to help reduce potential impact.

List of Valid HTML Elements

Here is a list of valid HTML elements (separated by commas) Kajabi allows in Email Broadcasts and Email Sequences: 

<a>, <p>, <strong>, <em>, <u>, <text>, <img>, <br>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <span>, <li>, <ul>, <ol>

Note:
Video embeds and scripts (like Calendly and other schedulers) do not work in Email Campaigns. If you wish to include an embedded video or scheduler with your Email Campaign, link a Page with custom sections containing your Video Embed or embedded Schedulers to your Email Campaign.
