You can edit templates for use with the Send Template-Based email tools and in the schedule of overdue reminders.
The following fields are displayed:
- Template Name
This should be a unique and descriptive name. For example, 'First Notice of Bill Due Date' or 'Bill Overdue Notice'.
- When used
The related action upon which the template can be sent. For example, 'Sent after a bill is past due' or 'Sent to alert a user of an impending due date'.
- Subject
The subject of an email notice template will be the subject of the email notice sent out if scheduled. It will be the first thing a user will read. The subject should be clear, direct, and as specific as possible to inform the user about why they should read this message.
- Text
Type the body of your message in the text box. Use the available variables and your own text. Text can be formatted using spaces and line breaks for email templates, but HTML formatting is not allowed to ensure the security of mail sent to members from Kavi Billing.
