Iterable templating syntax

We recommend creating a Dynamic Content Profile to set up your personalization tags and conditionals for Iterable.

Iterable supports personalization using the Handlebars templating engine. Use this syntax when configuring your Dynamic Content Profile.

     Caution

     If a template with the same name already exists in Iterable, it will be overridden.
