Notifications & Backups


Notifications

Click on any notification to edit or check the tickbox and click on "Edit".
Here you can change the type of notification depending on which element you choose (interactions, messages or system).
Select the language you wish the notification to be used for, this allows you to add multiple versions of the messages depending on how many languages are added on your website.

On the right side you will find a simple text editor where you can modify the message and the subject title of the email received by the user.
