## Templates

Email templates support three content types:
- **Visual** - Drag-and-drop editor for rich HTML emails
- **HTML** - Raw HTML with full control
- **Plaintext** - Simple text emails

Use Liquid templating for dynamic content:

```liquid
Hi {{ recipient.first_name }},

{{ data.message }}

Best,
{{ actor.first_name }}
```

Available variable contexts:
- `recipient.*` - Recipient user data (first_name, last_name, email, etc.)
- `actor.*` - User who triggered the notification
- `data.*` - Custom payload passed when triggering the notiflow
