E-mail Templates
E-mail notification is used to automatically generate and send e-mail and pager e-mail messages
when a
New work item
is created or when an existing work item is modified. E-mail templates are
created by Administrators and define the format of how the contents of e-mail messages are sent to
contacts. The format for e-mail templates can be simple using straight text or complex using HTML
and macros.
List Templates
There are three types of e-mail templates, they are as follows:
•
E-mail notification
- Best used for notification rules that deliver long formatted messages.
•
Pager notification
- Best used for notification rules that use short text-only messages.
•
E-mail action
- Used for the work item e-mail operation.
Additionally, a very sophisticated macro language is supported and can insert work item data
directly into e-mail template data fields.
