merge_variables
object or null (merge_variables) <= 25000 characters

You can input a merge variable payload object to your template to render dynamic content. For example, if you have a template like: {{variable_name}}, pass in {"variable_name": "Harry"} to render Harry. merge_variables must be an object. Any type of value is accepted as long as the object is valid JSON; you can use strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, or null. The max length of the object is 25,000 characters. If you call JSON.stringify on your object, it can be no longer than 25,000 characters. Your variable names cannot contain any whitespace or any of the following special characters: !, ", #, %, &, ', (, ), *, +, ,, /, ;, <, =, >, @, [, \, ], ^, `, {, |, }, ~. More instructions can be found in our guide to using html and merge variables. Depending on your Merge Variable strictness setting, if you define variables in your HTML but do not pass them here, you will either receive an error or the variable will render as an empty string.

string or string (send_date)

Setting a send date overrides the default cancellation window applied to the mailpiece. Until the send_date has passed, the mailpiece can be canceled. If a date in the format 2017-11-01 is passed, it will evaluate to midnight UTC of that date (2017-11-01T00:00:00.000Z). If a datetime is passed, that exact time will be used. A send_date passed with no time zone will default to UTC, while a send_date passed with a time zone will be converted to UTC.
