Summary

The guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on creating and integrating custom email templates within the Ory Network, emphasizing the importance of branding and user interaction in out-of-band communications. It explains the concept of "Flows" in Ory, which are authentication processes like login, email verification, and password recovery, while advising against using SMS for security-sensitive operations. It highlights the benefits of custom email templates, such as brand coherence and control over data, and details the creation of HTML and plain text templates using tools like Figma. The guide further describes how to incorporate dynamic content using the Identity object to personalize emails with user-specific data. For deploying these templates, it outlines the process of base64 encoding the HTML and configuring it within the Ory Network's identity configuration, either through the Ory CLI for cloud projects or direct file uploads for self-hosted setups. It concludes with instructions for testing the templates and offers community support for further assistance.
