Using unclear template name

Solution: Use a template name that gives clarity on the use of template. In this case, order_confirmtation_003 is a better name than Template_003

Using content that does not clarify the use of template

unclear template
Solution: Use a content that clarifies the use of the template to the reviewer. In this case, this will be a better content:

Hi {{1}}, Sorry we were out of the office on Sunday and were unable to respond in time. Would you like to continue this conversation?

Using texts as variables within double brackets

Using URL shorteners in the content

Crossing the character limit of one or more components
