Creating content

In the Content step, click Custom Message:

Now you can configure the body of the message:

1. Enter the message text. If you are using HandlebarsHandlebars is Airship’s templating language for personalization. Handlebars expressions use double curly braces wrapped around a content template, ranging from a simple variable, e.g., {{first_name}}, to complex evaluations of personalization data., you can test how the content will appear. See Previewing personalized content.

2. Configure optional features:

   • Media
   • Summary
   • Title

Now you are ready to complete the remaining steps in the composer.
