Customizing Edge email templates

Edge for Private Cloud v4.18.05

Edge automatically sends emails in response to certain events. For each of these events, Edge defines a default email template in /opt/apigee/edge-ui/email-templates. To customize these emails, you can edit the default templates.

The events where an email is sent, and the default template file for the generated email, are:

New user is added: user-added-new.html
Existing user requests a password reset: password-reset.html
A user is added to an organization: user-added-existing.html

The "From" field of the email can be set by using the conf_apigee_apigee.mgmt.mailfrom property in /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties (if that file does not exist, create it). For example:

conf_apigee_apigee.mgmt.mailfrom="My Company <myCo@company.com>"

Note: Use the SMTPMAILFROM property in the installation configuration file to set the "From" field at install time. The SMTPMAILFROM property is required at install time. See Edge Configuration File Reference for more.

The email subjects are customizable by editing the following properties in /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties (if that file does not exist, create it):

conf_apigee-base_apigee.emails.passwordreset.subject
conf_apigee-base_apigee.emails.useraddedexisting.subject
conf_apigee-base_apigee.emails.useraddednew.subject

Several email properties reference the {companyNameShort} placeholder, which defaults to a value of "Apigee". You can set the value of the placeholder by using the conf_apigee_apigee.branding.companynameshort property in ui.properties. For example:

conf_apigee_apigee.branding.companynameshort="My Company"

After setting any properties in /opt/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties, you must restart the Edge UI:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-ui restart
