Message templates

The wording of every email and message the system sends, grouped by module, with the channels each is sent on.

What this page is for

This page lists every email and message the system can send, such as invitations, password reset links and staff notifications. As you switch on more modules, their messages appear here too (for example pre check-in links for guests).

Each message has wording you can change. Your version is used from then on.

Who can use it

People with the Change message templates permission (by default Admin) and the account owner.

How to change a message

  1. Find the message in its group.
  2. Select the channel you want to change, for example Email.
  3. Change the wording on the next page and select Save. See Editing a message template.
