Create an email template

At the moment, the Superusers on Sitecore Content Hub cannot use the user interface to make a new custom email template. This is a work in progress.

As a valid workaround, the users can use APIs to create an email notification entity.

  1. Using Scripting SDK to create an email template
  2. Using Web Client SDK to create an email template
  3. Using Rest API to create an email template

Once an entity has been created with the help of an API, the superusers can use the user interface on Content Hub to edit the rest of the properties for the entity.
