 * @return string
 */

function updateMailjetSubscriptionEmailParameters($emailData) {
add_filter( 'mailjet_subscription_widget_email_params', 'updateMailjetSubscriptionEmailParameters' );

    // Some custom parameters used from custom template added via `mailjet_confirmation_email_filename`

    // $emailData['SOME_HEADER'] = 'Custom header';
    // $emailData['CONFIRM'] = 'Custom confirm';
    // $emailData['SOME_FOOTER'] = 'Custom footer';

    // Override default mailjet parameters
    // $emailData['__EMAIL_TITLE__'] = 'Please confirm your subscription';
    // $emailData['__EMAIL_HEADER__'] = 'To receive newsletters from __WP_URL__ please confirm your subscription by clicking the following button:';

function updateThankYouPagePath($templatePath) {
    return './custom_thank_you_page_path.php';
}

    return './custom_mailjet_widget_template.php';
}

Mailjet allows you to take full advantage of the template language when using Mailjet's SMTP relay. For more info see this guide. Add the following code to your template functions.php file.

/**
 * Use SMTP headers to send emails with a specific transactional template
 * and leverage templating language to supply dynamic content to the template
 */
 
add_filter('wp_mail', 'my_wp_mail', 99);
function my_wp_mail($args) {
    /* Provide the transac template id */
    $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateID:123456' . "\r\n";
    /* Enable templating language */
    $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateLanguage:1' . "\r\n";
    /* Send template errors to this recipient */
    $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateErrorReporting:admin@your-site.com' . "\r\n";
    /* Send data to the template. The vars must be defined in the template in order to accept data */
    $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-Vars:' .
        json_encode(
            array(
                "var1" => $args['subject'], 
                "var2" => ($recipient->first_name) ? $recipient->first_name : false, 
                "var3" => $args['message']
            )
        )  
        . "\r\n";
