10.1. Email events

The sip:provider PRO makes it possible to customize content of the emails sent on the following actions:

  • Web password reset requested. Email will be sent to the subscriber, whom password was requested for resetting. If the subscriber doesn’t have own email, letter will be sent to the customer, who owns the subscriber.
  • New subscriber created. Email will be sent to the newly created subscriber or to the customer, who owns new subscriber.
  • Letter with the invoice. Letter will be sent to the customer.

10.2. Initial template values and template variables

Default email templates for each of the email events are inserted on the initial sip:provider PRO database creation. Content of the default template is described in the appropriate sections. Default email templates aren’t linked to any reseller and can’t be changed through sip:provider PRO Panel. They will be used to initialize default templates for the newly created reseller.

Each email template refers to the values from the database using special mark-ups "[%" and "%]". Each email template has fixed set of the variables. Variables can’t be added or changed without changes in the sip:provider PRO Panel code.

10.3. Password reset email template

Email will be sent after subscriber or subscriber administrator requested password reset for the subscriber account. Letter will be sent to the subscriber. If subscriber doesn’t have own email, letter will be sent to the customer owning the subscriber.
