Using Handlebars in Transactional Emails
Updated over a week ago

What is a handlebar

Handlebar syntax enables you to customize your email templates by inserting customers' names and other data, making each message relevant to the individual recipient. When you add in a handlebar, then the system will auto-fill that information when sending the communication.

For example, if you enter in the handlebar {{clientFirstName}}, then the system will autofill the email with the customer's first name from the client profile. This is a really cool tool to use to make each communication personalized to every client 🤩
