For this example, we assume you have created a legacy transactional template in the UI or via the API. Following is the template content we used for testing.
Template ID (replace with your own):
13b8f94f-bcae-4ec6-b752-70d6cb59f932
Email Subject:
<%subject%>
Template Body:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
Hello -name-,
<br /><br/>
I'm glad you are trying out the template feature!
<br /><br/>
<%body%>
<br /><br/>
I hope you are having a great day in -city- :)
<br /><br/>
</body>
