Best Practices for Building Templates

  1. Create and Edit Templates. Watch the Templates video for a good introduction to how Templates work, how to create and edit Templates, including how to properly format the templates using variables. Also, we've preloaded your Dashboard with some default templates to get you started. These are yours to use, change, or delete as desired.

  2. Test your Templates. As you edit your Templates, you'll want to test them by sending a Test Notification. You should set up a test Sending Profile (your AppArmor support, so you can send yourself messages (watch the Sending a Notification video), and make sure they're behaving as desired. I would strongly recommend testing all of your Templates as they're built.
