Summary
Use ContentBlockbyName(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to retrieve the pre-set content block in the email body. My understand of the challenge is to create multiple content blocks based on different appointment code to show different instruction messages, but due to my own laziness I decided to just use one content block as a demo. If to create multiple content blocks, remember to name them using the appointment codes so that it can be retrieved via this function correctly.
