Introduction

For Enterprise Video Content Management System, organizations thrive for a streamlined process of centralized communication with the wide base of their users. To enable this, organizations require an effective way of receiving alerts, prompts, notifications, and other updates regarding the application's use, as timely as possible. This is elemental in creating a responsive environment for everyone. To cater to this requirement VIDIZMO offers Email Templates functionality that enables users to manage automated emails.


Concept

In VIDIZMO, Email Templates define a standardized body of text to be sent to users to prompt them for various activities and their respective status. VIDIZMO offers limitless options to customize these Email Templates. If you are just getting started take a look at How to Configure Email Templates. 


If the default template options look good to you, there is nothing more to do. But if you want to customize the content or layout of those emails, you can alter any template. In this article, we provide more details about the tools available for configuring Email Templates.


Components of an Email Template

VIDIZMO allows you to customize Email Templates by inserting variables, filters, text, links, images, and/or buttons. 


Variables

Variables give Manager+ Portal users a degree of flexibility over the textual body of an email, by allowing them to add a set of values in the Email Template settings pane. In your VIDIZMO Account/Portal Email Templates, you can insert variables using a special syntax. Each variable is enclosed in curly brackets:

{{ Sender.FirstName }}

The most commonly used variables are personalization variables, which allow you to dynamically include information about your recipients, workflows, user roles, and so forth.


Template with VariablesPreview
Hi {{ Recipient.FirstName }} {{ Recipient.LastName }}, your email is {{ Recipient.EmailAddress }}Hi James Johnson, your email is [email protected]


Filters

VIDIZMO also provides you with the functionality of template filters which are used together with template variables to provide additional functionality. This includes accessing important links (password reset, comment moderation, etc), Configuration Keys, and Configurable Terms. In the example below, the ApplicationConfiguration filter will fetch your application name stored against VIDIZMOGlobalConfig key and displays it in the email as shown in the Preview.


Template FiltersPreview
Hi {{ Recipient.FirstName }},

Visit {{ ApplicationConfiguration | GetApplicationConfig:''ApplicationUrl'' }} to learn more.		Hi James,

Visit https://vidizmo.com to learn more.


Variable Assignment

VIDIZMO also allows you to use Variable Assignment functionality using Tags. It helps authorized users to create and assign variables inside the email body and use them in the email body. The best part of using tags is, they help you avoid re-writing the same long piece of code more than once in an email template.


In the right part of the code below, the above filter has been used to fetch Your Application name from Configuration Keys.

In the left part of the code below a variable ApplicationUrl (it can be any name of your choice without gaps) has been created which has been used to store your Application name. Now, this variable (ApplicationUrl ) can be used at any place in the email template to display the Application URL. 

{%- assign ApplicationUrl= ApplicationConfiguration | GetApplicationConfig:''ApplicationUrl'' -%} 



Note: Please note that if you do not assign a variable using Tags, you may have to reuse the entire filter snippet every time you reuse it in an article. But if you assign a variable in the start of the email template, you can reuse the tag henceforth. An example of the latter is shown below.



TagPreview
{%- assign ApplicationUrl= ApplicationConfiguration | GetApplicationConfig:''ApplicationUrl'' -%} 

Email Body

Hi {{ Recipient.FirstName }},

Visit {{ApplicationUrl}} to

Conditional Tags

Conditional tags allow you to conditionally include content in your email templates. They give you powerful controls for personalizing your email to each individual recipient.

Your {{ TermMashup }} {{ Mashup.Title }} has been {% if Mashup.Status == 'Published' %} Approved. {% elsif Mashup.Status == 'Rejected' %} Rejected. {% endif %}


In the email template above, the content uploaders (email recipient) will be shown "Approved" if their uploaded content is approved by the Moderator+ portal user. In case, content is rejected then they will be shown "Rejected", followed their media name. 


Variables applicable on each Email Template

Below is the list of email templates with their default and allowed variables (variables that can be used in Email Templates in order to customize them).


 Warning: Please note that certain variables that have not been assigned yet using tags as mentioned in the section above for Variable Assignment, will have to be assigned first, or will have to be used as filters. For e.g. {{TermMashup}} is not going to be applicable unless you assign the variable its value in the start of the email using {%- assign TermMashup = Tenant | GetConfigurableTerm:''Mashup'' -%}. See the list of such filters in the last section here to ensure your variables are assigned before you can use them in your templates.

Available Filters

VIDIZMO filters are simple methods that can be used in Email Templates. These filters can be used to fetch allowed information securely from the database and return it at any place in the email template. Read further to learn more about these filters and their possible use.


1. GetConfigurableTerm

This filter can be used in Email Templates to fetch a list of all configurable terms from the database and return the value (Alias) of the provided Term. The code below can be used to fetch the Term Name.

{{ Tenant | GetConfigurableTerm : ''TermName'' }}

Example

In the code above TermName can be replaced with any configurable term (e.g. LearningPlan) of the portal and it will return the alias (Learning Plan).


2. GetApplicationConfig

VIDIZMO filters allow you to search and fetch configuration key values from Application Configurations using filters.


The code below can be used to fetch the Application Configuration keys.

{{ ApplicationConfiguration | GetApplicationConfig:''ApplicationName'' }}

Supported configuration key names: 

  1. ApplicationName 
  2. ApplicationURL 
  3. SupportEmail 
  4. SupportPhoneNumber


Example

The filter code above can be used in any Email Template to fetch the Application Name. Replacing ApplicationName from any supported key name will fetch the corresponding value from the database. 


Note: If configuration key name does not match or key does not exist, this filter will return 'key not found'
