DFP Message Templates

General

Keywords are used inside the {$ and} delimiters, for example, FLH.CODE.

IMPORTANT

All message types created using message templates are processed (generated) by the template generator (Source/TemplateGenerator).

If template-based messages are assigned the same message types as the supported standard message types, they will be processed both according to the standard message processing rules and according to the template rules defined in the configuration.

For example, if a template-based message is assigned the MVT message type, it will be processed by both mechanisms.
