Step 1: Create Your Table in HTML

Before integrating the table into your Mailchimp campaign, you need to create it first. You can do this using any HTML editor, or even a simple notepad. Basically, you need to write a HTML code that represents the structure and content of your table. A basic HTML table contains the following key elements:

  • <table> – Defines the main table
  • <tr> – Defines a row in the table
  • <td> – Defines a cell in the row

Here’s a basic example of a HTML table:

&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;Row 1, Cell 1&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;Row 1, Cell 2&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;Row 2, Cell 1&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;Row 2, Cell 2&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;



Step 2: Copy the HTML Code of Your Table


Once you’ve created and styled your table in HTML, copy the entire code to your clipboard.


Step 3: Paste the HTML Table into Your Mailchimp Campaign


Now, head over to your Mailchimp campaign. You’ll need to insert a Code block where you want your table to appear. To do this, follow these steps:


    

  1. Open your email draft in Mailchimp.
    2. 

  2. Drag and drop a Code block from the sidebar to your desired location in the email.
    3. 

  3. In the code block, paste your copied HTML table code.
    4. 



And voila! Your table should now be visible in your campaign.


Step 4: Preview and Test Your Email


Before sending out your email, always preview and test it to make sure everything looks as expected. Mailchimp provides a handy Preview and Test button at the top of the email editor for this purpose.


Final Thoughts


While the lack of native table support in Mailchimp can be a bit of a nuisance, this workaround allows you to deliver organized and tabulated data to your subscribers. Remember, though, to keep your table data succinct and clear for optimal readability and response.


Happy emailing!
