Programmable email functions

[JLetellier]

Good Morning,

I would like to start by saying that I am in no way shape or form a developper, but I manage to find solutions by following documentation, or what is already done. Up to now, i've found ways to break stuff, and see that things don't work, but also create some that do. 

However, I am getting a little intimidated by the Programmable email modules (BETA) and its limitations. 

Could someone please explain in non developper wording, what is considered as a HubL function that would limit the number of sends. 

I've also noticed that if no programmable module is found in the email, any HTML code found in contact properties, are simply pushing the HTML when personnalisation is being used (even if we add:  | safe). 

Is there a simple way of getting existing drag and drop emails to be enabled to render HTML, without having to add a programmable module ?

Thanks in advance for the assistance,

Jason

Hi, @JLetellier 👋 Thanks for your question. I agree, working with some of these tools as a non-developer can be challenging.

Two examples of HubL functions that will trigger send limitations would be:

• the use of crm_associations returns a list of CRM records associated with another record by its record ID, association category, and association definition ID
• the use of crm_object allows you to return details from a single record by making a query or by using its specific record ID

For how things are being rendered when using `| safe` are you saying you are seeing the raw HTML and not the rendered version? If so, is this happening in the editor and preview, or is it also happening with sent emails?

To render HTML in drag-and-drop emails without a programmable module, you will have limited options, as these templates are designed more for standard content types.

I'd also like to invite some of our community members to the conversation — hey @Teun @Anton @ChrisoKlepke @alyssamwilie, do you have any recent experience with the Programmable Content (Beta)?

Thanks for taking a look! — Jaycee

Hello i just saw this post and also wanted to get some clarifitation on the limits since the limitation explanation in the developer docs just mention crm_object, crm_objects, and crm_associations however in the design manager, when turning on the beta function for programmable emails, the modal just generally mentions "CRM Hubl functions".

Now, do all Hubl functions (https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/functions) limit the recipients or just the three functions mentioned in the docs ?
