Sending without a template

Docs

If you want to send fully-ready HTML (or plain text) emails without using Waypoint's dynamic templates, you can do so by passing in HTML and/or plain text to the API call. This can be especially useful if you are migrating from another service that does not support dynamic templates.

The API call is the same as the one used for sending template emails except you are passing in a bodyHtml and/or bodyText instead of referencing a templateId and variables.

bodyHtml	HTML body content.
bodyText	Optional – plain text body content.
