I’m trying to figure out how these macros are available in the email templates. Is there any way to create/customize one and use in the template?

The macros available in the email templates are a controlled set, and cannot be customized. Depending on your use case, you could use metadata attributes, e.g.

{{ user.user_metadata.foo }}

Thanks, @prashant for guiding in the right direction. I’ve also figured out that application and client are synonyms of each other and we can make use of client_metadata for application-level modifications in the email templates. E.g.

{{ client.client_metadata.foo }}

And this attribute ‘foo’ can be set in the client_metadata using the advanced settings section of the client panel. Please refer to the screenshot below.

The macros available application and clients can not be modified but we can add some attributes in client object as per @prakharkumar79 suggested. and that can be accessed in email template as

{{ client.client_metadata.foo }}

This is the case can be used when we need to customize the URL in the email, rather than setting that field in {{user.user_metadata.foo}} this can be set in client.

But I think if we will use URL from client object will that be expired after the given URL lifetime?
@prashant your thoughts are valuable here.
