Templates are used to render the messages which get sent to users. Messages are rendered with the liquid templating language, using [user properties](/resources/user-properties) to render values. ```html theme={null} Hey {{ user.firstName | default: "there" }} ``` [Journey message nodes](/resources/journey-nodes/message) are configured with templates. ## Template Types One template type is provider per channel. * [Email Templates](/resources/templates/email-editor) * [SMS Templates](/resources/templates/sms-editor) ## Presets Tranthor's templates come with built-in preset tags and filters, viewable [here](liquid-presets). These serve as useful utility functions for rendering messages.
