Customizing Notification Messages
Chapter 13 Automated Jobs 589
Customizing Notification Messages
The email notifications that are sent are constructed using a template for each type
of message that is sent. Each type of message has an HTML template and a plain
text template associated with it. Messages are constructed from text and tokens,
and HTML markup in the case of HTML templates. Tokens are variables, identified
with the dollar sign (
$
) character, in the message that are replaced by the current
value when the message is constructed. See “Token Definitions,” on page 590 for a
list of available tokens.
You can modify the contents of any message type by making changes to the text
and tokens contained in the template for that message type. You can modify the
appearance of HTML messages by modifying the HTML commands included in
the HTML template for that message type.
