This feature needs to be switched on for your site by Commerce Vision. Implementation also requires consultation with Professional Services.

Overview 

The Generic Email Notifications feature enables the creation of customised email templates, notification types and their email subjects. These can then be used for customised email notifications implemented to suit your specific business requirements.

Step-by-step guide

1. Enable and configure feature

  1. Go to SettingsFeature ManagementContent.

  2. Ensure Generic Email Notifications is enabled, then click Configure. 


  3. Configure Generic Email Notification Settings.


  4. To enable this feature on your site, in General Settings, toggle ON Enable Generic Email Notifications.

3. Specify Email Template

  1. Go to the Email Templates section.

  2. Click Add New Email Template.
  3. Create the new email template in the New Email Template popup. In Template Name, enter a unique name. It cannot be the same as an existing email template.

    TIP - Email templates created here can only be accessed if this feature is enabled.

Once you are in the email template, you can test it. 

  1. Click Test Email
  2. In To Email, enter the email address of the recipient who will receive this email. 
  3. In Notification Type, if not filled, enter the name of the notification type (exactly as in the Notification Type field when it was created).
