Using Email Layouts
This guide will help you provide a layout for your Email Notifications.
Requirements
As the concept of an email layout is the same as the concept of a layout for pages, you should understand the concepts of layouts and notifications, and should have created an Email Notification before.
Steps
Using email layouts is a three-step process:
Step 1: Create email layout file
The default layout file for all emails should be located in the views/layouts directory. Create a file named mailer.html.liquid.
Step 2: Edit email layout file
The content of an email layout is slightly different from the content of a layout for pages because it needs to be marked as an email layout.
Add the following to your email layout file mailer.html.liquid:
Header
{{ content_for_layout }}
Footer
Where {{ content_for_layout }} injects the body defined in the Email Notification into the layout. Without this part, you would be sending a layout without actual content.
Step 3: Use layout in email
To use the newly created layout in your Email Notification, set layout:
layout: mailer
