Marketplace owner needs to notify the Sharetribe team. + +## Template parts + +A template consists of three files: + +* `TEMPLATE_NAME-subject.txt` - holds the mail Subject line template +* `TEMPLATE_NAME-text.txt` - holds the template for the plain text version of the mail +* `TEMPLATE_NAME-html.html` - contains the template for the HTML version of the mail + +All the parts are mandatory. All emails that are sent from the marketplace +contain both the plain text and HTML variants and the recipient's mail client is +free to choose which one to visualize and how. + +## Template syntax + +Templates use [Handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com/) syntax. + +Example html: + +```html + + +

Hello {{recipient.first-name}},
