Tips for Customizing Mail Template:

 

The tags display in "Allowable Tags" section can be used same it is while writing mail template. e.g for registration mail, the following tags available

Tags : [username] , [password], [key_url]

 

These tags translated to actualy data after mail processing e.g

 

[username] -> translated to username of user for which mail will be send e.g tommy01

 

Mail Subject:

[username] you are successfully registered with us.

will be translated to

Tommy01 you are successfully registered with us.

 

You can write any level of mail, when you need.

 

Notes:

Some points regarding mail processing engine.

• It can only work on mail templates which is currently available in list. Admin can't add more templates programatically. If you want to add more templates consult with support or visit our group.
• You can only use dynamic data which is available under allowable tags. You need to customize core function to add more tags. e.g if you want to show [dateofbirth], [country] etc, you need to add it in core function.

 

Core Function Location:

Core function for each mail template located on pages / modules / classes from where it is used. e.g Registration mail template core function avilable at Register.aspx.cs or .vb file.
