The email template list with trigger, subject, and Active toggle
How it works
- Template list — each row shows its trigger, a subject preview, and a body preview.
- Trigger type — when the email fires, for example at checkout or a set time before pickup.
- Subject — the email's subject line, editable.
- Body — the email's content, editable.
- Active toggle — turns a template on or off. Off (Inactive) means that automated email stops sending, including reminders already queued.
- Create Template — saves a brand-new template.
- Update Template — saves changes to a template you're already editing.
Example
If your default confirmation email says "See you soon!" but you'd rather it mention your cancellation policy, open that template, edit the body, and save — every future confirmation email uses the new wording.
Good to know
These templates apply across your whole business, not per location. Saving changes requires settings-editing access, so a staff member with view-only access can read templates but not change them.
