How-To: Edit Request Email Templates
Request email templates are customizable and can be found by navigating to 'Settings' - 'Communications' - 'Email Templates', then clicking the Request Emails tab.
Click on Edit to the right of the template you want to update. This will open the template editor where you can customize the email. You can also click on the Revert to System Default button to the right of the template at any point if you want to start over with our system default template.
The available request email templates are:
Document Request Forms
-
Document Request Completed: Notifies the contact who sent the request that the document request has been completed. The completed form and any uploaded documents remain school confidential.
