Editing a Template

  • Click a template to edit its Message Subject and text. You can write English and Arabic versions in the same message.

  • Use Short Codes (for example ['user-name'], ['program-title'], ['set-password-url'], ['login-url']) to insert personal details automatically.

  • Click Preview to check it, then Save Settings.


III. Managing Delivery

  • Auto Send: tick or untick it for each template. When it's off, that email isn't sent automatically when the event happens.

  • Resend: send the message again.

  • Check what was sent: go to Gear icon → Email History to see every email, its receiver and its delivery status.

  • One-off messages: to email a group yourself, select people in the Participants, Submissions or Evaluators tab and use Send Message.
