@subhankarb what template variables can we use for template emails in auth0

zelima commented 7 years ago

@subhankarb how are we doing on this?

subhankarb commented 7 years ago

Done. It takes application.name and logo parameter

rufuspollock commented 7 years ago

I still need to draft this. @subhankarb don't i get more variables than that e.g. the name of the person signing up? Best thing here is probably a link to auth0 documentation.

subhankarb commented 7 years ago

@rgrp There is one default mail format. That is

![Your logo goes here](https://d19p4zemcycm7a.cloudfront.net/logos/logo-100.png)

# Welcome to @@application.name@@!

If you are having any issues with your account, please don't hesitate to contact us by replying to this mail.

Thanks,  
@@application.name@@

We can modify the template once we can set some custom email provider. Then we can add these macros:

@@application.name@@
@@connection.name@@
@@user.email@@
@@user. username@@ But these are global level settings. These are same for all application. Can not be changed per application level

auth0 docs on customizing emails: https://auth0.com/docs/email/templates

Key points:

You must setup your own email provider using a third-party service (Amazon SES, Mandrill or SendGrid) or a custom provider to be able to customize your emails.
It is a fair amount of work to setup due to configuring security stuff
Attributes available in templates listed here https://auth0.com/docs/email/templates#html-liquid-syntax
Can design emails in HTML (or maybe plain text). Markdown support has been deprecated.
No API to set this. Have to do it manually.

Based on what we now know I'm pushing to backlog as not clear this is a priority and seems a fair amount of work.
