# Use Lookup Table in Email Template

To use a lookup table in an email template, you can add the following liquid syntax to your HTML template or to an HTML element used in a drag-and-drop builder:

```
{% assign variable_name = "lookup-table-slug" | lookup: "item-name", "object-value" %}

{{variable_name.key_name}}
```

Here,

* **variable\_name** is any name you can define
* **lookup-table-slug** is the slug you have given when creating the lookup table
* **item-name** is the name of the item you have created
* **object-value** is the value you have given for the JSON item
* **key\_name** is the name of the key in the key-value pair defined under item-value

For example,

To render the local currency of a defined country, we can use the below syntax

* **variable\_name** here is defined as currency (any name that the user can define)
* **lookup-table-slug** here is **country-flags** as defined when the lookup table was created
* **item-name** is the **country** as created earlier and shown in the left pane
* **object-value** is **AD,** which is the value defined in the JSON**.** Note that this can also be a variable
* **key\_name** is the local\_currency, which is defined in the JSON

```
{% assign currency = "country-flags" | lookup: "country", "AD" %}

{{currency.local_currency}}
```

When used in the email template builder in an HTML block, the above syntax will render the value of the ***local\_currency*** as stored under the ***AD*** object under the country item in the lookup table **country-flags**

You can switch to the preview section to see the output value displayed dynamically in the email template. Below, it is showing EUR as the value fetched from the look-up table.
