E-mail templates

Kentico CMS sends e-mails for various purposes, such as workflow notification. You can modify the e-mail templates sent by the system so that they match your design and/or language.

You can modify e-mail templates in Site Manager -> Development -> E-mail templates.

There are two types of e-mail templates: global and site-specific. If there's no site-specific template, the global template is used instead.

The e-mail template has the following properties:

Display name	The name of the template displayed to the users.
Code name	The name of the template used in the code.
From	E-mail address that will be used as the sender (From) address of the e-mail.
Cc	E-mail addresses of copy recipients.
Bcc	E-mail addresses of copy recipients. These will get a copy of the e-mail, but won't see other recipient's addresses in the mail.
Subject	Subject of the e-mail.
Text	HTML code of the e-mail template.
Plain text	Plain text of the e-mail template.

Example of the template text:

<html>

<head>

</head>
