Creating layouts with novu-dotnet 0.6
Hello! I'm evaluating novu-dotnet (0.6). Are there any examples of how I can create a layout? I am trying to create an email template and add it to a workflow step, but I'm not sure how to do this. I guess, first I have to create a layout, then use its layoutId when creating the template in the workflow step... Here is my code:
public async void CreateLayoutTest()
{
var layoutCreateData = new LayoutCreateData()
{
Name = "layoutName",
Content = "Hello, {{ firstName }}! Please, take a look at " + LayoutCreateData.BodyExpression + ".",
Variables =
[
new TemplateVariable() { Name = "firstName", Type = TemplateVariableTypeEnum.String }
]
};
var response = await novuClient.Layout.Create(layoutCreateData);
var laoyt = response.Data;
Assert.NotNull(laoyt);
}
When I try to create the layout I have the following error:
Refit.ApiException: 'Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).'
Any suggestions?

every layout should have a
{{{body}}} variable
@Tanton
Would you like to share the usecase of creating workflow using api?Still the same error:
public async void CreateLayoutTest()
{
var layoutCreateData = new LayoutCreateData()
{
Name = "layoutName",
Description = "",
Content = "Hello, {{ firstName }}! Please, take a look at {{{body}}}.",
Variables =
[
new TemplateVariable() { Name = "firstName", DefaultValue = "", Type = TemplateVariableTypeEnum.String },
new TemplateVariable() { Name = "body", DefaultValue = "", Type = TemplateVariableTypeEnum.String }
]
};
var response = await novuClient.Layout.Create(layoutCreateData);
var laoyt = response.Data;
Assert.NotNull(laoyt);
}
Do I have to add it as "body" or as "{{{body}}}"? And what about the other variables? Should I use "{{ variable_name }}" or "{{{variable_name}}}". It is not clear..
Use case of creating workflow using API: if we decide not to use the Workflow Editor.
