Dynamic Data :: Maildeno Docs

Dynamic data is a plain dict passed as the second positional argument (or dynamic_data= keyword) to any render method.

Structure

# TypedDict equivalent
DynamicData = {
    "merge_tags": {          # optional
        "text": dict[str, str],   # paragraph, heading, button text
        "url":  dict[str, str],   # href, src, image URLs
        "attr": dict[str, str],   # alt, aria-label, etc.
    },
    "context": dict[str, str | int | float | bool],  # optional
}

All fields are optional.

Merge tags

`text` — inline content

client.render_html("template-id", {
    "merge_tags": {
        "text": {
            "name":       "Noruwa",
            "company":    "Maildeno",
            "reset_name": "Password",
        },
    },
})

Values are HTML-escaped before insertion.

`url` — links and image sources

client.render_html("template-id", {
    "merge_tags": {
        "url": {
            "reset_url":    "https://app.example.com/reset/abc123",
            "banner_image": "https://cdn.example.com/banner.jpg",
        },
    },
})

Values are URL percent-encoded before insertion.

`attr` — HTML attributes

client.render_html("template-id", {
    "merge_tags": {
        "attr": {"alt_text": "Product banner"},
    },
})

Values are HTML attribute-safe encoded.

Context

client.render_html("template-id", {
    "context": {
        "plan":    "pro",
        "country": "usa",
        "age":     25,
    },
})

Context values drive visibility rules and are never rendered into content.

Full example

client.render(
    template_id="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    target="mjml",
    dynamic_data={
        "merge_tags": {
            "text": {
                "name":       "Noruwa",
                "company":    "Maildeno",
                "reset_name": "Password",
            },
            "url": {
                "reset_url": "https://app.example.com/reset/abc123",
            },
            "attr": {
                "alt_text": "Cave image",
            },
        },
        "context": {
            "country":      "usa",
            "country_rank": "2",
            "expiry":       "2028",
        },
    },
)

TypedDict usage (type-safe)

Because DynamicData is a TypedDict, you can pass typed dicts for IDE autocompletion and static analysis:

from maildeno import DynamicData, MergeTagGroup

data: DynamicData = {
    "merge_tags": MergeTagGroup(
        text={"name": "Noruwa"},
        url={"reset_url": "https://app.example.com/reset/abc123"},
    ),
    "context": {"plan": "pro"},
}

html = client.render_html("template-id", data)
