Template properties are the combination of component ids and component properties, for example:

  • my-image.src - image component with id my-image and property src
  • my-image.width - image component with id my-image and property width
  • my-text.text - text component with id my-text and property text

What is a component?

A component is an object which can be added to a template in template editor. Every component can be modified using controls in the Inspector or via integration like REST API, Zapier or Make.com.

What are template properties?

Template properties are unique properties of all components. You can assign values to template properties to define how the component will look like, for example:

  • my-rect.color=rgba(255,255,255, 1) - makes a component white,
  • my-rect.opacity=0.2 - makes a component nearly visible,
  • my-rect.opacity=0.0 - makes a component invisible,
  • my-rect.rotation=45 - rotates a component by 45 degrees,
  • my-text.text=Hello World - changes text of the Text component,
  • my-image.src=https://example.com/my-image.png - changes an image source of the Image component,

Common component properties

These properties can be used with every component.
