How to change/style the verification/user emails

[Kinzi]

Hi,

it's great that you have included the email adapters. Got it set up with mailgun in a breeze. One question though: Is there a way to individualize the emails sent to the user? Like changing texts ect. ?

Couldn't find any information on this...

Thanks for your help!

You can modify the emails directly here: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/tree/master/public_html. I'm closing this as we're using issues to track bugs in Parse Server.

You may use Server Fault for questions about managing Parse Server.

For code-level and/or implementation-related questions or technical support, please refer to Stack Overflow.

Hi @hramos,

thanks for your answer and I do understand that you like to keep this for bugs. However, is there any place where I can drop a feature request though?

Because actually the default texts for those emails are set here: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/blob/master/src/Controllers/UserController.js
And I think it would be a great feature if those texts could be individualized/translated. Maybe with a webhook or something?!?

Thanks for considering!

What about the registration email? Is there a way to customise that? Is it even part of parse-server or is it the case that the server only passes params to a service like MailGun/SendGrid?

It's possibly currently by implementing your own email adapter, with sendPaswordResetEmail and sendVerificationEmail functions, but it isn't very well documented yet. We'd love some help with adding docs for this feature, or improving the experience of customizing your emails.

I added the same template features that were available on Parse.com to parse-server-simple-mailgun-adapter.

With the same variables ( %username%, %username%, %appname%, and %link%) to customize the emails.

See parse-community/parse-server-simple-mailgun-adapter#8

"You can modify the emails directly here: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/tree/master/public_html."

can you please explain what do you mean by that?
How will it help to get custom email template on password reset, email verification etc with ses-mail-adapter or mailgun adapter?

I apologize for the confusion, those templates are the landing pages seen when a user clicks on various links sent by Parse Server.

As for customizing the email template, the issue tracker really isn't the best place to answer these sorts of questions. Focusing on actual issues with Parse Server will allow us to move faster.
