Hello, so I have configured my instance with my SMTP provider but I am overall confused on where and how to edit my templates. Shouldn't that be something resolved in the AppWrite console? Thank you.

Summary

User suggests adding a new property 'action' to the email templates and modifying the template code to use this property for the action button. To make the suggestion, create a GitHub issue with the proposed changes. A user asks for information on where to change the response text for the Account create email. Currently, this can be done by replacing the template files located at https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/tree/master/app/config/locale/templates. The Appwrite console does not currently have a feature to edit templates, but it is planned for the future. A user asks for guidance on editing templates after configuring SMTP provider.

Right now this is not available through the Appwrite console, but you could replace the templates files located at: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/tree/master/app/config/locale/templates

We do plan to add this as a console feature in the future.

Any information you can pass on regarding where the templates values are coming from? I want to change the Account's create email response text.

Hey there, I would like to make a suggestion regarding the template:

currently the action link inside the mails (e.g. account verification) is a clear link (<a href="{{redirect}}" target="_blank">{{redirect}}</a>).
But I think it makes more sense to add a property action to the emails e.g.:

JSON

{
...
    "emails.verification.subject": "Account Verification",
    "emails.verification.hello": "Hey {{name}}",
    "emails.verification.body": "Follow this link to verify your email address.",
    "emails.verification.footer": "If you didn’t ask to verify this address, you can ignore this message.",
    "emails.verification.thanks": "Thanks",
    "emails.verification.signature": "{{project}} team",
    "emails.verification.action": "Verify Account",
...
}

And modify the template to:

Markup

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
  <style>
    .button {
      border: none;
      color: white;
      padding: 15px 32px;
      text-align: center;
      text-decoration: none;
      display: inline-block;
      font-size: 16px;
      margin: 4px 2px;
      cursor: pointer;
      background-color: #4CAF50;/* e.g. Green */
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body style="direction: {{direction}}">
  ...
  <a href="{{redirect}}" target="_blank"><button class="button">{{action}}</button></a>
</body>
</html>

What do you think?
