How Dynamic Content Works

  1. Add placeholders in your template using {{variableName}} syntax
  2. Send data as JSON when calling the API
  3. Receive personalized documents with your data inserted

Example

Template: 

<h1>Invoice for {{customer.name}}</h1>
<p>Amount due: {{customer.total | format_number: "C"}}</p>

API Data: 

{
  "customer": {
    "name": "Acme Corp",
    "total": 1500
  }
}

Output: 

<h1>Invoice for Acme Corp</h1>
<p>Amount due: $1,500.00</p>
