Creating an Email Template
Email templates are created using content blocks, these can be added by clicking the option in the side menu on the right.
The standard template will include the following blocks:
Logo
Title
Image
Text
Button
Footer
You can easily remove or edit these blocks as needed.
Customizing Blocks
To customize a block, hover your cursor over it to highlight it. Then, click on the block to open the side menu, which will allow you to change properties such as font, size, colour, and alignment.
To delete a block, click on the red bin icon in the top right corner of the block. The blue arrows next to the bin icon allow you to move a block up or down within your template.
✅ Click on the green check mark to save your changes to the block.
General Template Settings
To change the general settings of your template, click on the “Settings” tab. This allows you to edit the template name, email subject, and background colour.
Note: Be sure to click the green “Save Template” button once you're finished editing your template.
Template Action
In the 'Template Action' menu found in the Settings tab, you can now assign an email template to replace the online signup welcome email.
By choosing the 'Welcome Email' option instead of 'No Action', your selected template will smoothly replace our default welcome email (located in Settings > Admin > Pickup and Delivery > Notifications), offering a personalized touch for your online signups.
Editing, Deleting, and Duplicating Templates
Once a template is created, you have the option to delete, edit, and duplicate it as needed.
Duplicating: To duplicate a template, click on the square icon next to the template you wish to duplicate. Enter a name for the new template and click the green “Duplicate” button.
Editing: To edit a template, click on the pencil icon next to the template you wish to edit.
