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>

 <body style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial">

         <p>
