Adding notifications

Click Add Notification on the Notification Email screen to write and configure a custom notification message from scratch, rather than using the default message.

Define a name and description for the notification message.

Select Copy configuration from existing notification to use an existing notification as a template for creating this one. Selecting this option copies the following data from the specified message:

Subject line prefix

Message body

Domain variations

Enter a subject line prefix (optional).

Note that if you type _SENDER_ as part of the subject line prefix, this variable is replaced with the envelope sender address when the notification is generated.

If you want to change the character set used in the message (UTF-8 by default), select Change character set and select from the drop-down menu.

Enter the text for the notification in the message body field.

To view and use supported variables and tokens in notification messages, click Variables/tokens in the top toolbar.
