How to Customize Email Templates

To modify your email templates:

  1. Go to the Settings tab in your Uscreen dashboard.

  2. Find the email you want to customize and click Edit.

  3. Modify the subject line and body text as needed, but keep essential variables intact (more on variables below).

  4. Click Save to apply your changes.

When customizing your email templates, you can enhance readability and branding by using the built-in editor tools. Add bold, italic, or underlined text to emphasize key details, insert images for a more visual experience, and use bullet or numbered lists to organize information. You can also include hyperlinks to direct users to important pages, customize text colors to match your brand, and choose from various font options to maintain a professional look. These tools help ensure your emails are both engaging and easy to read! 🚀

⚠️ Important Notes:

  • Certain emails rely on variables for key details (e.g., order totals, user names). Removing them could make the email ineffective.

  • If unsure, send yourself a test email before saving changes.


Understanding Email Variables

Variables automatically insert user-specific details into emails, such as names, order amounts, and subscription details. They must be formatted correctly to work.

📌 Example of a Variable:

{{user.name}} → Inserts the customer’s name into the email.

Do not remove curly brackets {{ }} or add spaces inside the variable, or it will break.

{{store.title}} → Your store’s name

{{order.title}} → The title of the purchased item

{{offer.title}} → The title of the subscription or offer

To see which variables you can use in a particular template, click on the { } icon in the email body editor. Using unsupported variables may result in broken or missing information in your emails. Always check before making changes! ✅

  1. Open the email template you want to restore.

  2. Click on Restore Original Template.
