Manage templates
Go to Transactional → Emails to list templates. Each has:
- Name — Referenced from your application code
- Content — Subject, body, and default recipients
- Settings — Editor type, store-in-log, and API uuid
Choose an editor
When you create a template, pick one editor. Blade and Markdown are not available.
| Editor | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Visual editor | You want to design the layout in the HTML editor. You can start from a marketing template. |
| HTML source | You want to paste or write raw HTML. |
You can change the editor later under Settings.
Dynamic content
In every template section Mailivate shows tags you can click to copy. Put them in the subject or HTML:
| Tag | Filled with |
|---|---|
{{ subscriber.first_name }} |
Recipient first name |
{{ subscriber.last_name }} |
Recipient last name |
{{ subscriber.email }} |
Recipient email |
{{ list.name }} |
List name, when the recipient is on a list |
Your app can pass any other key in the API replacements object. Examples: {{ reset_url }}, {{ order_number }}.
Testing
Send a test from the template to confirm merge data from your app renders correctly.
Live sends through POST /api/email or the transactional templates API also need account approval.
Performance
Open Performance on a template to see delivery stats alongside the transactional log.
