Message templates

Description

Message template is a form for creating content for your marketing mailings. Within a single template, you can customize content for different communication channels. Templates in the platform support several types of dynamic content, such as queries to external sources, websites and SQL databases, as well as data passed in API requests to launch mailings. The message editor allows you to add personalization variables, functions, logical expressions and cycles to your template. You can also customize the display of unique content for each specific group of subscribers.

You can attach files to the template to send to subscribers and stop lists to block email addresses. Templates can also contain special links to confirm subscription or unsubscribe.
