Hello,
I want to output html token content with the rest send api.
I found some github issues/pull-requests for this:
>
>
> I have already tested sending emails with custom tokens, by giving values for th…em in a JSON object ("tokens" =\> ...). What I need to achieve is to include HTML in these custom tokens, a thing that did not work in my tests, as everything is parsed as text. Is there any way at all to achieve this?
>
> For example, I have a list of products (lets say three products) and I create a detailed list in HTML with them and their thumbnails. I need to attach this code to the "{body}" token in the email template when I make the API request to Mautic.

> Looking forward for your answer!

But it seems that these pull requests are not merged into the current release?
Has anyone information about this? Thanks for any help!
Best regards,
Timo
