Create and Use MessageTemplate In Workato
In this blog, we will see how to create and use message templates in Workato.
What is a Message Template?
- Message templates enable you to create static templates for commonly used messages.
- Message templates can be used to generate HTML/text/JSON/XML messages.
- They also allow you to separate the message composition logic (what the message should look like) from the message generation logic (when the message should be sent).
- This separation enables the template developer to change the format of the message without making changes to the recipe that sends the message out.
