About

When to send it

Send it when someone signs in without a password. The link works once and its expiry is stated up front, and printing it as text as well as on the button means it still works when the button does not.

5 values to fill

What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.

Placeholder	Kind	Required	Default
`{{productName}}`	Text	Required	None
`{{actionUrl}}`	Link	Required	None
`{{expiryMinutes}}`	Text	Optional	15
`{{footerNote}}`	Text	Optional	You are receiving this because somebody asked to sign in.
`{{unsubscribeUrl}}`	Link	Optional	None
