Ah, I missed that bit. Nonetheless, can you not just call the template
keyword directly, generate the email content and send? Then generate
the page content and return that from the route handler. The template
keyword doesn't actually end anything: it just produces content which
normally gets returned.

Did you load it in your application as well? e.g. somewhere in your
code before it's called:

  use Guard;
