Emails
Add, remove, or edit email templates. Email Templates are used when creating new projects, or sending on project information reminders. The information an email contains can be customized to the Server Administrators needs.
Creating and Editing templates
Email templates can be simple or more advanced with embedded code. They can be either plain or HTML format.
We use a templating language called Liquid all features here are available for use.
You can insert variables in the email templates using "{{ variable }}" a list of available variables is further down on the page. We have two types of emails that can be sent, either emails for new users or reminders to existing users. The two types have different variables available.
