Email Not Displaying Correctly in Gmail: Fix Gmail Line-Height Shifts for Brevo (Sendinblue) for Financial Services & Banking
Financial emails carry high-compliance requirements. Layout collapses, overlapping text, or accessibility failures can lead to compliance audits and client confusion. Below is the targeted integration guide to fix Gmail Line-Height Shifts inside Gmail Web (Desktop) templates when using Brevo (Sendinblue).
Technical Breakdown
Gmail Web (Desktop) uses the Goog/WebKit Layout Engine which lacks support for standard rendering rules. This causes Gmail Line-Height Shifts elements to break or collapse when rendering templates.
Brevo (Sendinblue) Behaviors
Brevo's rendering system injects inline spacing helpers to support their responsive editor, which can cause column overlaps in Outlook. Using explicit table alignments is required. Enforce strict WCAG color contrast standards across your statement tables and summary grids to ensure legibility and regulatory compliance.
Remediation Code Block
Define line-height as a unitless ratio (e.g. line-height: 1.4) or in explicit percentages (e.g. line-height: 140%). Avoid mixing em and px units, and apply the styles directly to the containing td or span tags containing typography. In your Brevo (Sendinblue) campaign manager, make sure you configure your links to run via {{ unsubscribe }}.
