What’s the best approach to send a custom HTML email on a API controller?

  1. this email will contain user and order data, so I need to pass variables to it;
  2. writing the entire HTML into a variable is not an option;

I know I can use something Like Handlebars or another template engine but there are already two customizable templates under Settings > Email templates (one of which already uses some kind of template engine) but I can’t use this feature to create my own template.

Strapi already has the feature I need but either the API is not exposed or it’s not documented.

Thanks.
