MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Extensive set of email templates to meet ecommerce communication needs pre-configured for use out-of-the-box. 


These email templates are easy to maintain in the CMS by a site Administrator. 

...

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Content → Emails.



  2. Select the sub-menu with the template you require. If you do not know where it is, you can enter keywords in the Search tool. (In this example, we'll edit the 'Registration Email' so we type in 'registration' in Search.)



  3. Once you have found the email template, click Edit. The list of widgets organised in zones in the template will be displayed.
  4. To change options and/or content of a widget, click Edit next to the required widget.


  5. In the widget popup,  change available options and content as required. What you can change depends on the widget. (In our example, the User Registration widget is responsible for rendering the main body of the email so we are able to edit the message and whether the surname should be included in the greeting.)

    There are also fields that appear in every widget: 
      • Description - A reference for the Administrator, the description appears on the widget list page and can inform the user about the widget's content at a glance.
      • Layer - N/A for email templates. Leave as 'All Pages'.




  6. After you are finished, click Save to save your changes!


Tip
titlePlaceholders

TIP: Placeholders such as '{0}' appear sometimes in the default message or phrase.  In the actual email message, a placeholder will be replaced by relevant context-sensitive data. For instance, the placeholder in our example, {0} will be replaced with a specific user's Login ID.

  • NOTE -  A placeholder will trigger content or data specific to the field it is used in. {0} in another field will not always display a user's Login ID. If you are unsure what data will be triggered by a placeholder, refer to the specific widget's documentation page.
