Overview
As a provider, you have the option to create or add data resources in Paradigm, e.g. email templates should the need arise. These templates can be added with dynamic data or merge fields that we made available for you to use in creating the content. This knowledge article will provide a workflow on how to search, add, and edit templates, and some template examples as well.
