Template Block
Availability: Email only
The Template Block allows you to use Handlebars templates along with html and css to add customized content to your notifications.
The Template Block presents you with an html editor containing a div and style element. Starting with these elements, you can build out the look and feel of the block content. Note: HTML and CSS support varies by email client.

Then write in your markdown between the {{#markdown}} and {{/markdown}}.
