About Customizing Email Messages

You can customize the default email messages for your preferences. You can delete variables, but do not change the text within the percentage signs (example, %ParticipantName%).

If you change these, Training Manager does not substitute the correct text from your profile or registration information. For descriptions of variables, see Email Message Variables.

You can edit the following options in the Edit Email message window.

  • Email Subject: Specifies the text that appears in the subject line of the email message.

    To specify a new subject, type it into the box.

  • Content: Specifies the content of the email message. The default content contains variables, which Webex Training replaces with your training session information. You can rearrange, delete, or replace variables and text with specific information. Do not change the text within a variable.
