About Email Templates

Email templates contain predefined formatting, merge variables, and text. These templates simplify the process of creating emails to send to users from SAS App Central. Templates are locale-specific. You can create two types of templates:
message templates
contain formatting, merge variables, and text for the message body. SAS App Central provides one standard message template called TenantUser_EmailInvite.st, which is used to invite new users to join the SAS Cloud.
letterhead templates
contain formatting, merge variables, and text for the message header and footer. To use a letterhead template, you associate it with a message template. SAS App Central provides one standard letterhead template called Default_Letterhead.st, which is associated with the TenantUser_EmailInvite.st message template.
To manage templates, you can do the following in SAS App Central:
  • create new templates for emails that you plan to send out frequently. For example, you can convert the standard templates to a different locale or create a new template for announcing the creation of a new SAS environment for your account.
  • edit and preview existing templates. For example, you can customize the invitation message template by adding text that is specific to your organization or add your organization’s name to the default letterhead template.
