Email templates

Identity Cloud provides preconfigured email templates for common end-user journeys.

You can customize email templates using Markdown language. Identity Cloud uses a parser to let you preview your markup.

Email templates utilize Handlebar expressions to reference object data dynamically. For example, to reference the userName of an object:

{{object.userName}}
