Benefits of configurable email templates
Make a fantastic first impression on everyone who enters your workplace
Ensure every visitor feels welcome and prepared for their arrival by providing relevant details for their visit
Customize the look and feel of your welcome emails without diving into code
Create new Welcome email templates
Templates are assigned per sign-in flow. That means you can have custom emails to match your visitor type! You cannot edit the default template, so you must create new ones as needed.
Click Add new template.
Type the template name and click Save
If you intend to use one template per sign-in flow, we suggest naming it after the visitor type you want to connect it to.
Once you do this, the window to edit the content will open automatically.

Legal documents
Our Welcome emails include the Visitor's legal document by default. However, if the visitor was invited and signed the document during pre-registration, they've already received an email with their signed legal document.
If you want to send the legal document only once, after the initial signing, instead of sending it again when they sign in at your workplace, please change the setting from Always, regardless of when it was signed to If legal document was signed during sign-in.
Once you've edited your template, click Save at the top right of the page. After that, you can send yourself a test email to ensure everything looks how you want.
