If a template is provided, you cannot send html, text, or react in the payload, otherwise the API will return a validation error.When sending a template, the payload for from, subject, and reply_to take precedence over the template’s defaults for these fields. If the template does not provide a default value for these fields, you must provide them in the payload.

When sending the template, the HTML will be parsed. If all the variables used in the template were provided, the email will be sent. If not, the call will throw a validation error.See the errors reference for more details or learn more about templates.
