Guide to Response Templates

Template Basics

How do I manage my templates?

The Response Templates page is where you can see the response templates that have been created, and manage the auto-response templates. To access this page, you must be the Account Owner or have "Manage Templates" privileges.

What is a Response Template?

A response template is a template for a standard response that can be sent to your submitters individually, in bulk, or as an auto-response for a certain action. The template uses substitutions or placeholders that get filled in with the relevant details at the time it is sent to the submitter. You can set up response templates for the following actions:

• Auto: Submission Received
• Auto: Fee Paid
• Auto: Tip Received
• Manual: Submission Accepted
• Manual: Submission Declined
• Manual: Submission Updated
• Manual: Request New File(s)

Those prefaced with "Auto" are for auto-responses, while those marked "Manual" can be sent either individually or in bulk to a selected list of submissions. For "Manual" types, you can set up as many templates as you need. However, you can only set one template per type of auto-response.

Auto-Responses

You can set up a custom auto-response template for Submission Received, Fee Paid, and Tip Received actions, or you can use Duosuma's defaults:

How do I create response templates?

Begin by clicking Add a Template. Then, select the Action Type and enter a unique Template Title. The title is for internal use only.

The Email Subject and Email Body fields can use substitutions. For example, if you include the text {{Project}} in those fields, when an email gets sent using that template, it will replace that text with the name of the project that the submission was sent to. The available substitutions differ, depending on the Action Type.
