Managing Email Guardrails

Toggleable and priority level editable list of email guardrails in the admin dashboard

Email Guardrails is on by default for all accounts. Admin users can set each guardrail to be a non-blocking warning or an error, which will prevent submitting a template for approval. This is done from the Email Guardrail Rules tab of the Admin Dashboard.

The following is a list of some of the warnings and suggestions you will encounter:

  • Email file size to prevent Gmail clipping
  • Broken links
  • Prevent placeholder links (e.g. example .com)
  • Incorrect syntax and personalization errors
  • Missing translations for localizations
  • Images missing alt text
  • Missing plain text
  • AMP errors
  • and more!
