How do I customise my email settings?

To customise your email settings, choose Notifications > Email Settings

It is possible to customise:

1. Your system generated email templates
2. Specify which system emails are sent out

CUSTOMISING EMAIL TEMPLATES

The Templates section contains a list of all emails sent from Ovatu on behalf of your business

You can modify any of these by clicking Override  

The template for the chosen email will appear

Here, you can complete any modifications. If you like, you can utilise the placeholders offered to the right of the screen

There are two ways to add images into an email template. Most of our customers get the best results using the Image URL method. To do this please;

1. Save the image to an image storing direct URL service. There are many of these online. We do not recommend any in particular as they all have their own terms and features, however some examples are imgbb, imgbox and imgur. It is possible to get a sharing link for images stored in Google Drive and the use this website to convert that sharing link to a direct URL link (which is what's needed to add to the Image URL field in Ovatu). In Microsoft OneDrive you can use the 'Embed' link.
2. Copy the direct link URL for the image. The process to do this depends on which storage drive you use. 
3. In the Ovatu template editor click on the Picture button and add the direct URL into the Image URL field. Then click on the Insert Image button.

This method pulls the image directly from the online storage service and displays it in the email, instead of embedding it in the email. This can result in the image displaying better in the receivers email account.

The second method is to upload the image into Ovatu and insert it into the template. To do this click on the Picture button and then on the Choose Files button. Select the file and then click on the Insert Image button. 

To resize the image click on it and drag the bottom right corner to the desired size, or select from one of the resize options

To enable/disable this template, use the Enabled Checkbox

To send a preview email, click Send Email Preview 

To save the template click Save

To revert back to the system template, click Revert
