## Questions about Magic Link + Fallback Code.

**What is the Magic Link + Fallback Code template for?**
A focused passwordless sign-in email with a primary magic link, a large six-digit fallback code, precise expiry language, and a clear not-you route. It is best suited to passwordless sign-in, cross-device login, account verification.

**Which fields can I change in Magic Link + Fallback Code?**
The public studio exposes the brand, accent, language, subject, preheader, and every visible message field. Gemini can propose structured copy changes for review. In a workspace, the template also names product, six-digit code, expiry, magic-link url, device, location, not-you url so changes can be reviewed instead of buried in raw HTML.

**Can I get the HTML for Magic Link + Fallback Code?**
Yes. Enter your email on this page and we send the responsive HTML for the original Magic Link + Fallback Code design, free and without an account. Edits you make in the studio stay in your browser tab and are not included. Early-access updates are a separate, optional choice.

**Can Moosewave MCP adapt this template?**
Not yet. Connecting an AI assistant to a Moosewave workspace through MCP opens with early access, and public signup is not open either, so there is nothing to connect today. The studio’s MCP brief is ready to copy now: it names Magic Link + Fallback Code, keeps its structure, and stops at a new draft without sending. Reading or changing a workspace will still require the matching permissions.

**Does the public preview prove inbox or email-client compatibility?**
No. It is an illustrative browser preview for structure and responsive width. A workspace draft is where actual content, rendering checks, required fields, and pre-send review belong; the preview does not claim inbox placement or universal client rendering.
