Input the main content of your message in the body section. This is where you convey the primary information or message you want to communicate.
You can incorporate custom variables within the body of your template by enclosing them in braces, like this: {{variable_name}}. These variables allow for dynamic insertion of specific information when the template is used.
You can include system custom attributes as variables in the body by clicking on them; they are displayed in the body section highlighted in green.
