Creating an automated email

To create an automated email, go to the Developer -> Automated Emails section in the admin portal and click the Add button. An automated email form with the following fields will pop up:

Name

Name of the automated email.

From Name

The from name that should appear for the email.

From Email

The email address to be used for sending the email.

Subject

The subject of the email. This can contain data placeholders too.

ReplyTo

The reply-to address for the email. We recommend setting this to your support email.

Body

The body of the email. You can use HTML for formatting.

Event

The event to trigger the email.

Enabled

If unchecked, the automated email will be disabled and no email will be sent on the defined event.

Custom

By default, your email body will be automatically wrapped in a responsive HTML email. In case you want to prevent that and use your own branded email, this property can be set to true.

Data placeholders

All the properties of user, license and product resources can be accessed in the body and the subject of the automated email. The general syntax is resource.propertyName. The following is a sample automated email body:

<p>Dear {user.firstName},</p>

<p>Thank you for ordering {product.displayName}.</p>

<p>Your license key for the {product.displayName} is:</p>

<p><b>{license.key}</b></p>

<p>
You can use this license key to activate {product.displayName} on
<b>{license.allowedActivations}</b> device(s).
</p>

<p>

Sending test emails

After you have created the automated email, click the Send Test Email option in the actions menu in the table. You can use this to test your automated email.

Verifying email domain

For Cryptlex to send emails on your behalf using your From Email address, you must verify that you own the domain. This is done by adding a Sending Domain in Cryptlex and verifying the DNS records shown in the Sending Domain.

If you don't add the domain verification records, Cryptlex sends emails using the noreply@cryptlex-mail.com email address. If you want to give your customers a white-label experience, hiding all Cryptlex branding, you must add and verify the sending domain.

To verify that a domain belongs to you

After your domain is verified, leave the CNAME and TXT records in place.

Automated email event logs

Automated email event logs show information about the emails that were sent by an automated email. You can use automated email event logs to see the status of all the emails that were sent, the email body and even manually resend the email if needed.
