Legacy Templates

For this example, we assume you have created a legacy transactional template in the UI or via the API. Following is the template content we used for testing.

Template ID (replace with your own):

13b8f94f-bcae-4ec6-b752-70d6cb59f932

Email Subject:

<%subject%>

Template Body:

<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
Hello -name-,
<br /><br/>
I'm glad you are trying out the template feature!
<br /><br/>
<%body%>
<br /><br/>
I hope you are having a great day in -city- :)
<br /><br/>
</body>
</html>
