๐ง Tip: For Upcoming Subscription emails, you are able to designate "Email send time" by the number of days before a subscription order is placed.
Note: If you've enabled Smartrr's default templates, you won't be able to edit the content of individual emails. To edit the individual emails with HTML instead of with Smartrr's custom default templates, toggle Enable default templates to OFF.
Navigate to Customer Notifications under CONFIGURATION in the left-hand menu.
Click on Customize defaults to globally add a logo and change color schemes for default email templates.
Enable default template: Enables Smartrr's default email templates to send for all emails that are turned ON. Disable if you prefer to use custom HTML for all email templates.
Enable email header / footer: Injects a standard header and footer across all emails
Reset default styles. Enable to add a JPEG or PNG logo across all emails. Footer information is pulled directly from your store's Shopify contact information.
Reset default styles: When pressed, resets all header / footer, and color settings for all default email templates.
Colors: Changes background colors, primary text color, button color, and button text color for all email templates. Note: Secondary text color will only be visible in the footer when "Enable email header / footer" is toggled ON.
Want to code your own email templates? Disable the toggle next to each email. To edit the template, click the hyperlink.
Settings applied in Customize defaults will NOT appear if you are using custom-coded HTML.
Within the content of these emails, we provide a variety of event variables that can be used across all email templates in the Email Triggers tab. The syntax is available at the bottom of each page. You can click to copy the syntax and apply it to your emails.
Syntax: <%- subscription.VARIABLE %>
Syntax: <%- subscription.lines[0].VARIABLE %>
Syntax: <%- customer.VARIABLE %>
Syntax: <%- note %>
Syntax: <%- to.VARIABLE %>
Syntax: <%- from.VARIABLE %>
The โGift Created Emailโ template also has access to a shippedOn
variable.
Syntax: <%- outOfStockItem.VARIABLE %>
