Notification Email - Changing Content?

mwoo

Hello,

Is there a way to change the content of the notification emails that go out when a post is made in a topic?

Right now it contains a link to the comment, but can it be configured to contain the comment itself, as well?

Hi @mwoo, this is by design to increase traffic to your site. If you put the full contents in the notification email, users don't have incentive to return to you site and see what else is new. We don't offer the option of including it.

I see. Thanks for your response @Lincoln.

@mwoo I've looked into this further and we're now allowing this message to be customized. Did you just want the content included, or were there other changes you'd like to make as well?

@Lincoln is there a way to change the link address for the comment in the notification emails? We have it embedded at https://www.infoarmy.com/discussion.htm but the link is taking users to: https://infoarmy.vanillaforums.com/messages/ which defeats the purpose of the embed.

@infoarmy I've changed your email link accordingly. Please check that it's targeted correctly now.

@nelkaake I'll need the URL of the page your site is embedded.

Also, please start new discussions for new questions whenever possible.
