Unclosed tags
Misplaced elements
Incorrect attributes
Inconsistencies in class and ID usage
QA Agent ensures that the HTML follows best practices and corrects structural issues automatically, including:
Adhering to the recommended email width of 600-800 pixels to improve display in email client preview panes.
Avoiding the use of unsupported HTML floats or positioning elements and relying on simple grid-based layers using tables for structure.
Highlighting the use of images that might be blocked and providing recommendations to add alt text or use inline images instead of background images, which might fail to load.
Keyword-Based Campaign Association
Matches to Campaigns: Finds the most relevant campaign based on the keyword and pulls its unique campaign ID.
Textual Error Rectification in HTML
QA Agent identifies and corrects spelling and grammatical errors within the textual content of the HTML code:
Spelling Consistency: Ensures key terms like brand names are spelled correctly and consistently throughout the HTML (e.g., correcting "AMMazon" to "Amazon").
Grammar and Readability: Suggests improvements to phrasing and grammar to enhance readability and professionalism, ensuring that even minor grammatical or mechanical errors are identified and corrected, such as extra letters in words or unnecessary punctuation.
Use of Cross-Platform Fonts: Encourages the use of basic fonts such as Arial, Verdana, Georgia, and Times New Roman to ensure compatibility across different platforms.
Comprehensive HTML Code and Content Error Report

Maintain a friendly, authentic tone that matches your brand voice.
Personalize when appropriate—reference the audience’s interests or needs if possible (“Your path to stress-free budgeting,” “A guide made just for first-time homebuyers”).
Use subtle emotional triggers or humor, if on-brand, to make the text more appealing (“Worried about your finances? We’ve got answers,” “Ready to treat yourself?”).
Ensure the pre-header aligns with the email’s content—no misleading or bait-and-switch tactics.
Don’t use guidelines for…
Repeating the subject line verbatim or offering nothing new beyond the subject line.
Overly long, generic, or vague phrasing that provides no real value (“We have something for you,” “Check this out”).
