I'm having trouble with HTML paste emails in the content builder.

I have an email template in the form of an index.html file.

It came along with a bunch of images in an images folder.

When I open the index.html in Chrome it opens propely rendering all the images.

I copied the HTML code from index.html and pasted into a Create > Email Template > Paste HTML and then uploaded the images to images folder at: Content Builder / my images / Viacom / Template01_Viacom-EditorialGreenApri-8-2019/ 77E / images

Marketing Cloud assigned a URL to every image uploaded as usual.

I tried replacing image file name in the index.html template under the src="image_name" attribute to the corresponding URL assigned by Content Builder, but the images still don't render after I save the HTML paste template.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Just one of the lines containing the a-tag is sufficient. Your current post doesn‘t include a single line of code, which makes resolving your issue pure guesswork.

You need to replace the src="image_name" value with the image URL generated by Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
After uploading an image to Content Builder, you can find the image URL by clicking on the image to view more details. See below:

  • Thanks Cameron! I have done that for all the src attributes within the html code. Still it doesn't render. In fact I tried paste html code in classic content and everything works perfectly. Any other ideas / thoughts?

  • Can you update your question with a copy of the HTML code (just the 1 line with the image) you are using; including the correct link to the image?

  • Sorry, just saw your comment now after several days. I ended up logging a case with support and they said that the image sizes are too large. Here's what they had to say "Content Builder renders those images differently than classic email editor. In viewing the images I see they are really large. This makes it difficult to have the images appear with dimensions set with percentages. I would recommend either resizing the image to the desired size and import the new images into content builder or try placing the images within content blocks." @Cameron

  • @Girish I guess the support is wrong about this, it is a weird issue that happened to me as well, when I am uploading photos in MC, the url generated isn't secure, it is an http not https, and for that reason the images are not rendering, try to upload the photos somewhere else that is secure and try
