About

## When to send it

Send it to confirm an address or finish a sign-in. The code sits on its own line in large type, the expiry is given in minutes, and the closing line tells anyone who did not ask that the code is useless on its own.

Values

## What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.

| Placeholder | Kind | Required | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `{{productName}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{code}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{expiryMinutes}}` | Text | Optional | 10 |
| `{{footerNote}}` | Text | Optional | You are receiving this because somebody asked to sign in. |
