Email templates

The following Orbit actions will generate an email:

A reset password request
Sharing an Orbit item
Stop sharing an item
Shared item updated
New user registration
Account locked

Orbit includes a set of default email templates for each action.

You can create your own custom email templates by adding a modified set of files to the emailTemplates folder.

Note

The standard location is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\OrbitAPI\emailTemplates, but you can change it in the settings.

Creating your own email templates¶

To create a custom email that persists between updates, rename the file: remove the Template suffix and add the Custom prefix.

The default file names are:

ResetPasswordRequestNotificationEmailTemplate.html
SharedNotificationEmailTemplate.html
UnsharedNotificationEmailTemplate.html
UpdatedShareNotificationEmailTemplate.html
UserRegistrationRequestNotificationEmailTemplate.html
AccountLockedEmailTemplate.html

The equivalent custom file names are:

CustomResetPasswordRequestNotificationEmail.html
CustomSharedNotificationEmail.html
CustomUnsharedNotificationEmail.html
CustomUpdatedShareNotificationEmail.html
CustomUserRegistrationRequestNotificationEmail.html
CustomAccountLockedEmail.html

Note

Orbit recreates the default files on each release, but leaves any custom files untouched.

Orbit also includes text versions of the files. It doesn't use the .txt version of a file if a .html version is present. It also doesn't use a default file if a custom file is present. Orbit checks for files in the following order, and uses the first one it finds:

CustomSharedNotificationEmail.html > CustomSharedNotificationEmail.txt > SharedNotificationEmailTemplate.html > SharedNotificationEmailTemplate.txt

Text Only
