Personalize templates with handlebars

The CrossEngage Template Builder makes personalizing your templates easy! Here is our tutorial on how to use handlebars in an abandoned cart campaign template.

To access an interactive tutorial demonstrating personalization of templates with handlebars, log into the CrossEngage platform, disable any ad-blockers, and click this link.
Drag and drop a text block into any of the empty structures in the template.
Let’s list 3 products, which a user has left in their cart, sorted by price. The picture, name, category, SKU, and price should be present. Copy the HTML code below:
1
<td align="center" class="esd-block-text">
2
    <p><br></p>
3
    <p>Hello {{user.[traits.firstName]}}, how are you doing today?</p>
4
    <p><br></p>
5
    <p>You left somthing behind<br><br></p>{{#includeProducts '{ "cartProducts": true, "options": { "maxResults": 3, "sortBy": "properties.price", "desc": true, "distinct": true } }' }}
6
        <div>
7
            <div><img src="{{[properties.imageURL]}}" height="200" width="300" alt></div>
8
            <div style="text-align: left; padding-left: 20px;">
9
                <p style="text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">{{[properties.name]}}</p>
10
                <p>Category: {{[properties.category]}}</p>
11
                <p>SKU: {{[properties.sku]}}</p>
12
                <p style="color: orange;">${{[properties.price]}}</p><br><br>
13
            </div>
14
        </div>
15
    {{/includeProducts}}
16
</td>
