Adding notifications
Click Add Notification on the Notification Email screen to write and configure a custom notification message from scratch, rather than using the default message.
Steps
- Define a name and description for the notification message.
-
Select Copy configuration from existing notification to use an existing notification as a template for creating this one. Selecting this option copies the
following data from the specified message:
- Subject line prefix
- Message body
- Domain variations
-
Enter a subject line prefix (optional).
Note that if you type _SENDER_ as part of the subject line prefix, this variable is replaced with the envelope sender address when the notification is generated.
- If you want to change the character set used in the message (UTF-8 by default), select Change character set and select from the drop-down menu.
-
Enter the text for the notification in the message body field.
To view and use supported variables and tokens in notification messages, click Variables/tokens in the top toolbar.
