Hi @karien

You could create a [Custom Module](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/design-manager/create-and-edit-modules) that can be added to an email.

The code in your Custom Module could pull in the data you need.

Have fun

Mike

Hi @karien

We typically code a Custom Module to make it easy for normal humans to drop the module into a Drag and Drop Email Template, then add the content directly to the Custom Module in the email.

While it takes a bit of effort to set up the Custom Module it saves time creating the emails.

Also, have you had a look at [HubSpot’s Programmable Emails](https://www.hubspot.com/products/operations/programmable-automation)?
