Email Templates

Modified on Thu, 31 Aug 2023 at 10:30 AM

Email Templates allow you to completely customise the body of your Emails. Allowing you to modify the default body, add your own custom email body and adding content from the form submission. 



Setting up your Template


  1. Open the new Email Templates Menu and click the plus button.
  2. Select the type of email template you want to use. There are two types PDF + Email Submission Event and Approval – Clarification Email, see the details about these below.
  3. From this input you can start adding your email template, if you need help getting started click the USE DEFAULT button. This will populate the template input with the default email that is sent. This can then be modified using the editor. 


Email Submission Event Templates

  • PDF + Email Submission Event templates allow you to modify the email body for your Email and Email + PDF workflow events. 

Approval – Clarification Email

  • Clarification email templates allow you to modify the email body of the request clarification emails that get sent back to the person who submitted the form.


Parameters


On top of adding your own information to the email body, you can also include parameters from the submission or approval, these are shown on the right side of the pop-up. These include things like the form name, submission ID, submission date/time etc. To add a custom parameter add a tag e.g {{custom:emailAddress}}. Change the emailAddress section of the tag to represent the content you want to add (e.g. firstName, phoneNumber). This will then appear in the workflow event as a property that can be mapped to a form element, or you can enter free text. 



HTML Editor


By default, email templates use the rich text editor, this allows for some minor styling options. We also allow users to use the HTML editor for their email templates. The HTML editor allows for more control and options for your email templates, but requires you to write HTML. 


Custom Parameters


With email templates, you can include custom parameters. These can be mapped in the submission event to either be free text entry or pull content from elements in the form. This then allows you to add form content into the body of your email, similar to the subject and PDF file name.


Setting up your Submission Event


  1. Open your form and select the Email or Email + PDF submission event or Approval flow. 
  2. Select from your available Email Templates. 
    • Templates are optional if you do not select a template, the default email body will be generated.
  3. Mapping your custom parameters. 
    • This is only required for email templates using Custom Parameters 




Start with the Default


You can use the USE DEFAULT button to start with the default email template. 

If you simply want to modify the out-of-the-box email body, or just need help getting started, this is a good way to begin. 

This button will only be available if the template input is empty.


Delete a Template


Email Templates can be deleted my clicking the Delete button in the Email Templates menu. 

Templates cannot be deleted while in use, you will first need to remove the template from all submission events in order to delete it.
