E-Mail Templates

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to change email templates. We’ll open the App Configuration settings, edit the passwordReset flag, and customize key email elements like sender name, subject line, logo, header, body copy, button label, link placeholders, and footer content. Finally, we’ll trigger a real password reset from the login screen and confirm the updated email looks correct. Step-by-step guide: 1. Open the SMPL Admin - Go to the SMPL administration interface and navigate to App Configuration. 2. Find the password reset template - Open the flag editor for `passwordReset` (shown as a modal: “Edit Flag: passwordReset”). - Keep the Variant set to `default` (as shown). 3. Update sender + subject - Edit: - FromEmail - FromName - Subject 4. Edit template content (headline + preview text) - Under TemplateContent, update: - DOCUMENT_HEADER_TITLE - PREHEADER_TITLE - (In the video, these are changed to English to match the new template.) 5. Update the logo - Set LOGO_IMG_URL to the hosted image URL (CloudFront URL shown). - Adjust LOGO_IMG_ALT to the correct brand text (example updated to “SMPL VIDEO Logo”). 6. Update the main email copy - Update: - HEADER_TEXT (example becomes “Reset password”) - BODY_TEXT - Keep the placeholder logic intact (shown pattern): - `{{#if USER_NAME}}...{{USER_NAME}}...{{else}}...{{/if}}` - Use `
` for line breaks as shown in the template. 7. Update button label + link - Change BODY_BUTTON_TEXT (example becomes “RESET PASSWORD”). - Keep BODY_BUTTON_LINK using placeholders (shown structure): - `https://www.smpl.video/reset-password?t={{TOKEN}}&r={{USER_EMAIL}}` - Do not remove the token/email placeholders
