Error message: 'Email is missing required content'

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 160

Hi Community

I have a been running some personalisation testing - and sometimes I get the error 'Email is missing required content'.  I read in the below thread that this is when the contact sent an email (when sent by a journey not test send) is missing one or more of the personalisation fields.

https://community.dynamics.com/365/marketing/f/dynamics-365-for-marketing-forum/314076/email-is-missing-required-fields---newby-question/1001770#1001770

This is not the behaviour I am seeing - the email is being sent even if the fields are missing.

Could someone (ideally form Microsoft) please verify the expected behaviour here.  I can add more details if needed, but in essence:

  • I have a test journey with 2 contacts, that sends an email with a bunch of personalisation fields.
  • One contact has ALL the personalisation fields
  • The other contact has only SOME of the personalisation fields
  • The thread below implies the email should be blocked for the latter contact
  • The behaviour I am seeing is that BOTH emails are sent - I've attached excerpts form the received emails below, also the delivery details section from Email:Insights showing both received the email
