How to edit Default Email Template
Users can locate the "Genea Default Template" as the active template. To view it, hover the mouse over the "Action" button and click "View Template".
Please note that the default template is view-only and cannot be edited. To create a custom template, select your desired subject, hover over the "Action" button, and choose "Use Custom Template".
The default template will be displayed in preview. If you wish to edit it, simply click on the "Code Editor" Within the HTML code editor, you have the flexibility to customize various elements, including branding, colors, instructions, variables, themes, and more to suit your needs.
Genea's Email Template Code Editor offers a robust platform for extensive email customization. Administrators can import custom HTML scripts to create the desired email content. The editor also includes a preview feature, allowing you to instantly view the email body and see the results as you make changes.
Custom Template Variables
Template Variables helps admin to insert the important yet dynamic information they would like to insert to email templates for precise communication. Admins can use them within the email body along with the static text to make email more meaningful.
To insert a variable into the email body, simply click on the variable in the list. Please refrain from modifying the variable's ID or HTML script to prevent errors. Once a variable is inserted, the system will mark it with a ✔️sign to indicate its presence in the email body.
Important: Identify Variable Insertion Point - Carefully review your HTML code to determine where you want to insert the variable. Place your cursor at that exact location and then click on the variable from the available list.
If you need to use the same variable more than once in the email body, it's recommended to copy and paste the code of the already inserted variable to the desired locations instead of clicking on the variable list multiple times.
Please note that variables marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory for use within the email body. Custom templates cannot be saved without including these mandatory variables.
Preview and Save Email Template
Preview & Saving Custom Templates: This feature enables users to see the email design as they make changes in the code editor. It provides a live preview of how the email will appear. User can correct any code editor errors if exist and have the option to save the email template they've edited as a custom template. This means that any changes they've made will be preserved for future use.
Labeling: Custom templates are labeled as 'Custom Template' to clearly indicate their status as templates that have been modified from the default version.
Switching Between Templates: Users have the flexibility to switch between custom and default templates using an action menu. This allows them to revert to the original default template if needed.
