e-Mail message templates - Bitrix Site Manager - Content Management & Portal Solutions

In this section

This form can be accessed by selecting Settings -> System settings -> e-Mail templates in the left menu of the administration section.

The e-Mail message templates form is used to manage mail message templates. Whenever a message is to be sent, the system searches for the appropriate template that can be used to create an e-mail message. If a template is found, a message is sent using this template.

The system distinguishes e-mail message templates by the message type and the site with which a template can be used.

Each message template may contain two types of information: constant data and variable information (parameters).

The constant data remain static in all messages and do not change. In other words, all recipients will receive this information exactly as you provide it in the message template. Example of constant data is signature, e.g. "Best regards" etc.

The parameters can vary from message to message depending on conditions. This means that a recipient will receive information that is intended for him or her, exactly. Example of a variable parameter is the recipient's e-mail address. The parameters which can be used in a message are listed in the template editing form in the Available Fields section.

Developers can find more detailed information on the mail message subsystem can be found in section Messaging subsystem.
