Documentation for Crowd 2.0.x. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

Crowd uses the email template when sending an automatic notification to a user, such as when you reset a user's password.

To set up the email template,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Administration' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click 'Mail Template' in the left-hand menu.
  4. Enter the text and macros that will form the body of the email message. Use a macro when you want to include a variable into the email text. Crowd will replace the macro with the relevant value when it sends the email. Below are the available macros and their replacement values:
    • $username – The username of the person who will receive the email. (This macro is available in Crowd 2.0.3 and later.)
    • $firstname – The user's first name.
    • $lastname – The user's last name.
    • $deploymenttitle – The title of your Crowd site, as defined in Deployment Title.
    • $date – The date/time of the message event.
    • $password – The user's new password.
  5. Click 'Update'.
