Outlook Email Broken Layout Fix: Resolve Max-Width Constraint Collapsing

A programmatic integration guide for resolving email rendering crashes inside Outlook 2019 using Klaviyo's layout editor environment.

Root Bug Analysis

Outlook 2019 uses the Microsoft Word (MSO) which lacks support for standard rendering rules. This causes Max-Width Constraint Collapsing elements to break or collapse when rendering templates.

Active rendering engine: Microsoft Word (MSO)

Klaviyo Specific Guide

Klaviyo's delivery wrapper can clean and restructure elements during import, creating dynamic spacing differences inside Outlook 2019.

Integration Step:

Open your Klaviyo template editor. Drag an 'HTML' block directly into your layout timeline (do not use a standard text box). Clear the default skeleton content inside the Klaviyo markup editor and paste the RenderOps corrected inline code.

ESP Unsubscribe Alignment

When compiling custom HTML templates for Klaviyo, you must ensure your layout retains deliverability compliance loops. Klaviyo requires you to insert their specific unsubscribe merge tag, otherwise your campaign delivery will be flagged by automated spam audits.

Klaviyo Unsubscribe Tag:{% unsubscribe %}
