To customize the email template for verification codes in Ory, you can follow these steps: 1. List all your projects and get the Ory Identities config file:

shell ## List all available projects   ory list projects      ## Get config   ory get identity-config <project-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

2. Add your Base64-encoded custom message templates to the config:

shell identity-config.yaml courier:    smtp:    from_name: MyProject via Ory    templates:    verification:    invalid:    email:    body: { "html": "<base64://ENCODED_HTML_TEMPLATE>", "plaintext": "<base64://ENCODED_PLAINTEXT_TEMPLATE>" }    valid:    email:    body: {}

3. Upload the edited config:

shell   ory update identity-config <project-id> --file updated_config.yaml

In the Ory Network, you can use only Base64-encoded templates.
