Answer 1

You can create a page named notification.html.erb in app/views/mailer directory. You will get all instance variable in notification.html.erb that is defined in your def notification(to_email)

def notification(to_email)
  @name = #pass name here
  #your code goes here 
end

Now @name will be available in notification.html.erb like

Hello, <%= @name %>
