These examples are meant to get you familiar with handlebar variables and are by no means exhaustive. ## Points earned example The points earned notification provides both a `customer` and a `reward_fulfillment` object. Here's an example of how you can use these variables to create dynamic content in your emails. ```html HTML theme={null} Hey {{customer.first_name}}, You just earned {{reward_fulfillment.name}}! {{{footer}}} ``` Smile will replace the handlebar variables with the values they represent, ultimately yielding an email that looks like this: ```html HTML theme={null} Hey John, You just earned 100 Points! ``` ## VIP tier achieved example The VIP tier achieved notification provides a customer object that contains all the relevant VIP information you need. ```html HTML theme={null} Hey {{customer.first_name}}, You just achieved {{customer.vip_tier.name}}! {{#if customer.next_vip_tier.name}} Keep going to hit {{customer.next_vip_tier.name}}. {{/if}} {{{footer}}} ``` Smile will replace the handlebar variables with the values they represent, ultimately yielding an email that looks like this: ```html HTML theme={null} Hey John, You just achieved Silver! Keep going to hit Gold. ```
