Email Template Wizard Customization

Introduction

The Email Template Wizard allows administrators to set up the email templates in Plutora. Email templates send emails which:

  • are sent after certain trigger events, such as an updated release date. Triggered emails are sent one minute after your update for all Entities. If you make multiple updates, with each update being less than a minute after the previous update, those updates will appear in a single email one minute after the final update. This prevents large numbers of email notifications from being created. 
  • contain specified content.
  • are sent to specified users or user groups.
  • are sent to users’ notification emails. See Update Profile.
  • are sent through Mailgun, which uses opportunistic TLS.

Whenever Mailgun connects to an MX server, it tries to deliver messages over a secure TLS connection. However, if the server doesn’t offer TLS or an error occurs, such as an invalid certificate while establishing the connection, Mailgun will still deliver the message but over an insecure plaintext SMTP connection.

For Plutora Test’s email templates customization page, see Plutora Test Email Templates Customization.

List of Entities and Their Triggers
