At the moment it's not possible to insert tables in the drag and drop email editor. Even if we paste table HTML in the source code, it gets stripped away when we save it.
Current workarounds include:
Add a screenshot of the table instead:
However if the email client is blocking images, this information will not show up
Use a custom module with a HTML table:
This means that for every table I want to insert in my emails, I need to create a new module
Being able to add tables to drag and drop emails will be a really useful feature to have for those want the flexibility of DnD, but still want to structure their information clearly.
Hi Contributers, thank you for the idea and for all the feedback, This feature is not available for Marketing Email yet. We have discussed this as a team and are hoping to review this soon, but this is not planned for development in the next quarter. For transparency and clarity, I am updating this issue to 'Not currently planned' for the time being. I will update here once we have plans in place.
Amazing that as 2023 ends, this BASIC feature is still not available. I can't believe that I have to ask the people in my organization, whom I have already convinced to move to Hubspot, to go back to Outlook just to use this feature in their emails. It's embarrasing!
Neither of the two workarounds to this missing basic functionality are practical. Being able to include basic tabular information such as price options is a pretty basic part of many sales processes and this is meant to be a sales tool?
We are sending daily reports to clients with nuermical information that has to be displayed in a table. It's very frustarting that we can't use Hubspot for this, and have to keep using Outlook. We were really hoping we could optimise this process and gain all the valuable informaion of open rates etc. So we have an incomplete picture of customer enagagement as we are missing the stats from our daily emails to clients - 75% of emails coming from Hubspot and 25% from Outlook!
It really slows down adoption of HubSpot as we increasingly have to revert to Outlook for email due to Hubspot's unique inability contain a table (ideally copied and pasted from excel) that pretty much every other email client on the planet in 2024 has.
I'm shocked this isn't standard. We switched from Pardot to have more usability, and even they have the capability to insert a table into their email client.
Lame, though not a techincal term, is how I'd describe Hubspots overall response to this 4 year old request. Hubspot, time and wishful thinking won't make your shortcoming disappear.
Hi Hubspot team, Any update on this idea ? Our users are requesting it, and it would be very useful to be able to add tables to the email they send. Thanks
