Hi,

When triggering an email with the api i use {my\_api\_field} to show the tokens sent through the api.  
This works perfect, but when i send HTML (a table) in such token, the HTML code is just shown plain in the email.

How can i make the HTML being rendered in the email?

Thanks!

Ruben

You have to use builder, it does this.

In order to make the email look good in every browser, you shoult use MJML not HTML.

You can write MJML code in this format , it is a little bit different from html.
