Summary

Knock has introduced "Partials," reusable content pieces designed to streamline and enhance the management of notification templates as products scale. These Partials allow teams to create modular content that can be independently updated and integrated across different templates using the Knock CLI and management API, supporting formats like HTML, markdown, plaintext, or JSON with dynamic variables via Liquid. Partials can be composed within each other for flexible content creation, and their lifecycle can be managed programmatically, allowing for version control and integration into existing workflows. The feature is part of Knock's broader efforts to improve template management, including typeahead and autocomplete features, a text formatting bar for markdown templates, and enhancements for in-app notifications and localization. Partials are available to all Knock customers and can be explored through their free plan, offering a seamless way to maintain consistency and efficiency across notification systems.
