The Mail Templates feature

The Mail Templates feature can be found in the System Dashboard area. Once opened, it looks like what’s shown in Figure 10.1:

Figure 10.1 – Mail Templates

The main screen of Mail Templates shows a list of all the notification messages that are sent by Joomla, each one connected to a specific Extension and with a Description that specifies when a message is sent.

Search and filtering functionalities allow us to look for a specific email or filter emails by extension. It’s useful when you want to customize emails sent by a specific extension (for example, e-commerce, newsletter, contacts, and so on).

For each of the emails, in the Edit Templates column, flags of the available languages are visible. Here, we can edit the email in the desired language, granting us a high degree of flexibility.

Now, let’s see the feature in action by customizing our first email template.
