Would you like to send your clients and staff attractive email notifications with own customizable branding, links, buttons, and many other options? Enabling this custom feature gives you access to the HTML editor where you can easily drag and drop various content blocks, add images, text, contact details, etc. Please just mind that the booking or purchase related content, as well as adding of the corresponding variables is to be edited either in Settings -> Email and SMS settings if you are using common appointent notification templates, or in the specific custom feature settings in case you have customized notifications.

6. It is important to add {{content}} tag to the desired place in the template as in real emails it will be replaced with the booking/purchase related information.
Without this tag the customization will not be applied to the notification and it will be sent as plain text.
Please note! All variables that are related to appointments or purchases data should only be used either in Settings -> Email and SMS Settings or in the corresponding custom feature options.

(optional) You can also use {{name}} and {{email}} tags here in case you need to reflect recipient's name and/or email separately from main notification content.
Please note! The templates are regularly automatically saved so you do not need to manually save them.
