Create and manage dynamic templates in the dashboard

Dynamic templates let you create reusable email layouts with placeholder variables that get filled in at send time. You can now build and manage these templates directly in the Paubox Email API dashboard, with no file upload or code required. Templates you create in the dashboard work immediately with the Email API, the same as templates created through the API.


How to create a template

  1. Log in to your Paubox dashboard

  2. Navigate to Paubox Email API > Dynamic Templates

  3. Select New Template

  4. Enter a Name for the template

  5. Enter your email Body as HTML. Use wherever you want a value substituted at send time

  6. Select Create Template


As you type in the body, any variables you add appear under Detected Variables as chips, so you can confirm every placeholder is captured before saving.

Note: The body supports Handlebars syntax. Variables are detected automatically from the body, so you do not need to declare them separately.


How to edit, duplicate, or delete a template

Your templates appear in a table with their name, created date, and last updated date. Use the search bar to find a template by name, select a column header to sort, and use the page controls to move through longer lists.

To manage a template, select the ⋮ menu at the end of its row:

  • Edit opens the template so you can update its name or body. Detected variables refresh as you make changes

  • Duplicate creates a copy named "Copy of [template name]" that you can modify independently

  • Delete removes the template


Using a template to send mail

Templates created in the dashboard are available to the Email API right away. Reference the template when you send a message and pass values for each detected variable, the same way you would for a template created through the API.
