Overview

Email Notifications in Creator Portals   

1. Invitation template: This email is automatically sent whenever a user is added to the portal or when someone signs up for the portal, providing them with an official invitation to become a portal user. You can use it to serve as a warm welcome, encouraging user engagement and participation.
2. Reset Password template: When a user forgets their password and requests to change it on the reset password page, this template comes into play. It provides a simple and secure process for users to reset their password, ensuring the protection of their account.
3. Approval template: The approval template serves as a notification to inform users that they have been granted permission by the administrator to access and utilize the portal.

*Please note that the approval template is exclusively utilized for restricted portals, because this type of portal needs its administrators to approve any new user.

Use Cases

1. "From" and "Reply To" email address: Consider that your organization comprises distinct teams, including a support team responsible for sending out emails from the portal, to address new queries. However, when dealing with finance-related matters, it's crucial for the email to originate from the finance department's email address, and subsequent replies should be directed to the finance team.
   
   To accommodate this requirement, the application admin can utilize the customizability of the "From" and "Reply To" email addresses. Despite having support@zylker.com set as their mandatory email, the admin can send emails from finance@zylker.com, ensuring that communication aligns with the appropriate department. This customization enables seamless and accurate correspondence within the organization's various teams.
   
   
2. Suppose you've developed a staffing agency application for your organization, and within this context, different email templates serve specific purposes:
   

1. Invitation template: Use the invitation template to invite your staff members to gain access to the portals associated with your agency. This template facilitates the onboarding process, allowing you to extend invitations seamlessly.
2. Reset Password template: In the event that a user or agency member forgets their password, the reset password template comes into play. It helps provide a secure method for users to reset their passcodes, ensuring the privacy and integrity of their accounts.
3. Approval template: When certain portals within your application are restricted and require authorization, the approval template comes into action.
