Message Templates

A range of templates for messaging can be created and organised with the message templates list. The New Message Template button leads to a choice between a Welcome Email template and a Forgotten password template.

Welcome Email template

This template can be used when sending welcome messages to new users.

You can use the following special formatting options in this message:

  • $user_name: The new user's username.
  • $email: The new user's email address.
  • $first_name: The new user's first name.
  • $last_name: The new user's last name.
  • $password_reset_link: A link to start the Password Recovery process.
  • $change_password_link: A unique link for this user to immediately change their password.
  • $recovery_email: The new user's recovery email address.
  • $recovery_phone: The new user's recovery phone number.

You can also use any extra attributes your users might have, such as $salutation or $SIS_ID. Please note that a formatting option that does not match the above list or a user's custom attributes will be left in your email unchanged.

An example of the form for writing a Welcome Email template can be found below.
