Twig Filters
Twig filters are tools in the Twig templating language used to modify and format output, such as changing text case, truncating strings, or converting data formats. This Action supports two special filters that can assist in the creation of emails.
| Twig Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| inky_to_html |
Converts Inky, a HTML-like language for writing responsive email templates, into standard HTML. |
| inline_css |
Applies CSS styles directly to the HTML elements to ensure styles are preserved in email clients that do not support <style> and instead require inline css. See documentation. |
Credit Cost
