Account Information Template
This tab allows you to edit the email that will be sent to your customer. This will define the structure of the emails generated and sent to your client’s when their domain is created. If you wish to add additional details or instructions to your clients, you can edit the contents to reflect your desired format. Additionally, this section utilizes special Place-Holder variables within the text which are used to place the values of the newly created account. These placeholders are denoted by the use of the “[]” around the variable name. These variables can also be moved around, removed, or specified multiple time to generate the email form structure you would prefer.
Listed below are some of the variables:
[DOMAIN] - This will be the name of the domain attached to the created package.
