Email templates - Robase

Email templates work the same way as SMS templates, except each template has three fields — subject, html, and text — and the HTML body is rendered with Go’s html/template (auto-escaping) while subject and text use text/template.

Create a template

await pm.templates.create({
  name: 'Booking confirmation',
  subject: 'Your {{.ride_type}} ride is confirmed — {{.time}}',
  html: `
    <p>Hi {{.name}},</p>
    <p>Your ride is confirmed for {{.time}}.</p>
    <p><strong>Driver:</strong> {{.driver_name}}<br>
       <strong>Plate:</strong> {{.plate}}</p>
  `,
  text: `Hi {{.name}},\nYour ride is confirmed for {{.time}}.\nDriver: {{.driver_name}}\nPlate: {{.plate}}\n`,
});

Send from a template

POST /v1/templates/:id/render previews rendering; to send, use POST /v1/emails with the template variables merged in before calling (current MVP — native template field on /v1/emails is on the roadmap alongside SMS’s).

Auto-escaping

HTML rendering escapes <, >, & so user-supplied data can’t inject tags. Subject and text are rendered raw — don’t put untrusted input in the subject without sanitization.

Preview

const preview = await pm.templates.render('tpl_01H8...', {
  variables: { name: 'Chidi', time: '10:00am', driver_name: 'Amaka', plate: 'ABC 123 XY', ride_type: 'Airport' },
});
console.log(preview.subject, preview.html, preview.text);
