Using Email Layouts

Last edit: Jul 14, 2023

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
