What template syntax does SES use for personalization?

SES templates use Handlebars-style syntax with double curly braces, like {{name}} for simple variables. SES also supports conditionals with {{#if}} blocks and iteration with {{#each}} blocks for rendering lists of items in your emails.

Does the template preview show exact email client rendering?

The preview shows how your template renders in a modern browser, which approximates most email clients. However, email clients like Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail each have rendering quirks. For pixel-perfect testing, use a dedicated email testing service like Litmus or Email on Acid.
