Emails Setup & Templates

Before you can send emails, you need to configure your email settings and templates.

Setup Emails

Go to Emails & Templates > Settings

Configure the Sender & SMTP settings with the following options:

Email: The email from where the email will be sent (e.g. noreply@example.com).
Display Name: The display name associated with the email (e.g. No Reply).
Host: An STMP host (e.g. example.com). Usually or domain or a domain provided by your SMTP provider.
Port: An STMP port (defaults to 25). Most probably it is 25, but your SMTP provider might assign another.
Username: Your SMTP username. Provided by your SMTP provider.
Password: Your SMTP password. Provided by your SMTP provider.

After that, click save.

Templates

Templates are useful tools for automating emails. They allow dynamic parameters, defined as {{parameter}}. Here is an example of a template:

<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            p {
                font-size: 25px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- `name` is a variable parameter that will be replaced with a value before the email is sent. -->
        <p>Hello, {{name}}!</p>
    </body>
</html>

Create a template

Go to Emails & Templates > Templates and click the New Template button.

The New Template dialog will be shown. From here you can create the template:

Name: The name for your template. It must be unique among other templates.
Type: Choose between Activation Email, Password Reset Email, and Other. Depending on the selection, the appropriate template will be used for its specific purpose.
Email Template: Here you’ll upload your template as an html file.
