Template campaigns are created using the UI on the platform but triggered later via the external API.
You can find API Triggered Campaigns on the Create Campaign page:
You can build these campaigns like any regular campaign:
Use the double curly braces syntax to add variables - {{variable_name}}:
Put the campaign live with the Review & Launch button like any other campaign. Then you will go to live campaigns where you will see your campaign listed:
The campaign ID is appended to the campaign and will be used when executing the campaign via API.
