The 'email template domain' can be set to a specific country manually within this drop down.

If their country is not available in the list, then the default email template domain will be used.

Adding undocumented attributes to your Email Template

You can add attributes that do not appear on the left-hand side or with the default trigger attributes.

To do this, you have to extract the attribute from the Event Stream and then once formatted include it in the plain text section of your Email Template.

The Event stream for “eventType”:“SERVICE_CHECKOUT_SUCCESS” has additional attributes such as Username or Masked PAN, which are not included in the email template for Successful Purchase. You can however add this manually to your template.

• Simply find the event from the Event Stream
• Format this using a JSON formatter (use hierarchy notation to expose the data not shown in template)
• Locate and copy the Username or Masked PAN attribute text, using JSON hierarchy
• Add the Username or Masked PAN attribute text to your template within the plain text section

Once you have saved the changes this, the Username or Masked PAN will appear on all Successful Purchase emails.

8. Add your Plain Text version - this can be copied from the HTML version
