Emails
Your custom application can send emails to users based on particular events or actions, for example when a new user registers for an account or needs to reset their password. Emails can also be sent to the application Admin when certain events occur, for example when a new Snapshot or Quote is generated.
The Stardraw Cloud platform includes a powerful email template editor which, in addition to creating richly-formatted HTML emails, supports insertion of any Application, User or Project setting so that emails can be fully customized and specific to the task, user or project in question.
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| AccountRequested | Sent to Admin when a new account is registered. |
| QuoteGenerated | Sent to Admin when a new quote (Snapshot) is created. |
| ProjectUserInvited | Sent to a user when another user invites them to access a project. |
| QuoteConfirmation | Sent to user when a quote is confirmed. |
| ResetPassword | Sent to a user when they ask to reset their password. |
| RegisterUser | Sent to a user when they register an account. Includes link to confirm registration. |
Substitution Fields
You can use the values of any settings in your custom application in the emails it sends, to make that email specific to the task, user or project it deals with.
In the email template editor, use the "Insert..." dropdown to choose values to insert into the email. Substitution fields will appear in the email body as "[settingID]", as shown in the example below.
Available fields include:
- User Settings e.g. Name, Email Address
- Application Settings e.g. Name, Logo, URL
- Project/Snapshot Settings e.g. Unique Number, URL
- Links to pages with specific functionality e.g. Reset Password, Register User
