This is the written version of a short video for anyone using Claude or ChatGPT to draft email and SMS templates outside of Leaf360: give it the variable list first, or the copy it writes won’t merge correctly. Prefer to watch it instead? Here’s the video:
For the full editor reference, see Email Templates. This page just follows the video.

Getting the variable list to Claude

1

Open a new template

Open the marketing suite, go to Email Templates, and click New Template.
2

Switch to Advanced

In the top right, switch the editor mode to Advanced Split — the HTML code editor alongside a live preview.
3

Copy the variable list

Click Copy Variables. This copies every variable Leaf360 recognizes, so you can hand the whole list to Claude alongside your prompt.
4

Paste Claude's output back in

Give Claude the variable list plus what you want the email or text to say, then paste the HTML it writes back into the Advanced Split editor.
In Advanced Split mode, the HTML is the source of truth — the separate call-to-action fields in the properties panel are dropped when you save. This is the same mode the AI Email Builder calls Advanced HTML.
