iXpole generates automated mails to individuals for a set of preset actions (e.g. for sending a ticket, sending a contract, sending an order confirmation...). Such automated mails are based on a set of predefined "email templates". These email templates are preconfigured in iXpole. It's possible to customize these preconfigured templates to your specific needs. This particular template is used to inform the user that he can pay for his order online.

In this article the Online Checkout email template is explained.

Let's get you started

Activate/deactivate the Email Template
Go to Email >> Templates. To (de)activate this template, click on its icon (an envelope). When the icon is green, the template is activated. A grey icon indicates a deactivated template. Note that this template can not be deactivated (see the red error-message on the bottom of the page).

With the blue Actions-button, you can choose to deactive the template or to remove the content of a specific language, if this language is set up for this template. Click on Open Designer to open the email designer tool and edit the email's content. Note that this content will be merged with your default Email Style*. Following animation illustrates the above:
