Customizing E-mail Notifications in eDirectory
Introduction
After successfully configuring your eDirectory's e-mail settings, you might need to tailor the e-mail notifications sent to users and sponsors. This article guides you through the process of editing these notifications to align with your specific communication needs.
Accessing the E-mail Editor
- Log in as Site Manager: Access your eDirectory admin panel using your Site Manager credentials.
- Navigate to Design Tab: Locate and click on the "Design" tab within the admin panel's navigation.
- Open E-mail Editor: Within the "Design" tab, select "E-mail Editor."
Editing E-mail Notification Content
- Select E-mail to Edit: Click on the link under the "Name" column corresponding to the e-mail notification you wish to modify. For example, to edit the 30-day renewal reminder, click on its name.
- Content Type Selection: In the "Description" section, you can change the "Content Type" from the default "Text" to "HTML" if you require HTML formatting.
- Modify BCC and Subject: Adjust the "BCC" and "Subject" lines as needed for the specific e-mail notification.
- Edit E-mail Body: In the "Body" section, you can modify the e-mail's content.
- Personalize the Message: The "Body" section displays the default e-mail message. Feel free to personalize the text to better suit your communication style and requirements.
- Restore Default Message: If you are dissatisfied with your modifications, you can revert to the default message by clicking the "Restore Default Message" option located under "Options" (to the right of the "Description" section).
- Utilize Variables: The "Variables Description" section lists all available variables that you can incorporate into your e-mail. If a desired variable is not listed, it cannot be added to the e-mail.
- Save or Cancel Changes: To save your edits, click "Save" located at the bottom right-hand corner of the page. To discard your changes, click "Cancel."
Key Considerations:
- Variable Limitations: Only the variables listed in the "Variables Description" section can be used within e-mail notifications.
