System email is a way for Contensive developers to add email functionality when an event happens on a site. In order to receive these emails, they need to be configured. The fields within a system email are as follows:
- Name - name of the email, this field is read only and used by the Contensive Developer
- Subject Line - subject line of the email being sent (this field is required and the email will not be sent unless this field is completed)
- From Address
- email address the email comes from (this field is required and the email will not be sent unless this field is completed) - Send Confirmation To - If a person would like to be notified each time this email is sent, select a user to receive the notification
- Email Template - allows the email to use a template
- Body - the body of the email being sent
- Allow Link Authentication - when checked, each link in the email that points back to the Contensive site will authenticate the receiving user when clicked
- Allow Spam Footer - adds the SPAM footer to the bootom of each email
All email types have a tab for groups and topics. If a groups or topics are selected in the system email record, this email will send one email to each member of that group or topic selected.
