Users, Groups, & Emails
For a User to receive an email, requirements must be met:
- Can the User receive notifications? See Users > General Information: Additional Information > Receive Notifications. If checked, the User's email is available to be sent an email when appropriate. If unchecked, the User will never be sent an email, regardless of any other settings or Group memberships.
- Is the User, or a Group the User is a member of, in the list of recipients for the given email? See Sites > Email Notifications > Email Message > Customize > Receive this notification. If the User, or a Group they belong to, is not in this list, the User will not be sent the selected email message. Note: If Target User is listed AND the User is the Target User (see chart above) then they will be sent the email message.
Custom E-mail Notifications
To customize, select the Email Message to be customized to view a sample, click Customize This Message to edit the message template. Use the Tags menu to add a placeholder for data to be inserted when the Pressero system send the email. Select the Users you want to receive the email. Save Changes.
1. Whenever a Standard email template is customized, a Custom version will be created.
- The Custom version will be used instead of the standard template. If there are no Custom versions, the Standard version will be used.
- You can create multiple custom versions of a given email template. For example, let's say you want your staff to get a File Upload email with links to the production file. It's possible to save TWO custom New Order emails, with one set to go to the target user (your customer) and the second to go to your Admin Users (your staff). In this way, the content of the two emails could be different, with the "staff" version containing links to the production files (the ##FILES## or ##FILELINKS## Tags you added) while the customer's version does not.
- If you rename a Group being used for Email Notifications, make sure to update the "Who receives this notification" list with the correct Group.
- Note: The sender email and display name (From: ABC Printing) is set under Preferences > General Settings > Email. If nothing is set, the email's will use the default “From: Pressero” with “sender@pressero.com” as the associated email.
- Custom email notifications can be created with the Professional and Enterprise packages only. To add this capability to the Standard package, contact your sales representative.
2. Email Notifications to Sales Rep for a B2B Site. Your sales rep can be notified when an order is placed in a Customer Site.
- Create a Site Group in the Site, name it "Sales Rep" (or whatever). The permissions can be left at “Not set”.
- Add a New User to the Site. Enter the sales rep's info. Under Additional Information, make sure “Receive Notifications” checked. In the Site Group Membership tab, check the Sales Rep Group.
- In Email Notifications, select the desired email template, click Customize.
- In the list of Users, select "Customer belongs to Sales Rep", click the right arrow to add this to Receive This Notification. Save Changes.
3. By default, emails will be sent to various people (your staff as well as the customer) based on certain activities taking place within the Storefronts or the Orders area. See Email Notifications > Select Template > Customize > Receive This Notification. You will see two columns below the email template. The left column is a list of potential email recipients you can add. The right column contains those who currently are designated to receive the email. You can add recipients by clicking them in the left column, and clicking the arrow to move them into the right column. If you hover over the list of those who may receive the email, a tooltip will display with more details.
Who will receive the email. The chart below shows who will receive a specific email notice (Recipients). Depending on the notice, only certain people will receive the email. The grey boxes indicate that this user does not receive the email notification. You can override the default recipients if needed. If you rename a Group being used for Email Notifications, make sure to update the "Who receives this notification" list with the correct Group.

4. The Form Submitted email will not contain links to any files that may have been loaded using the form. The files will be in Tools > File Manager > Uploads.
5. Order Status Changed Email. You will notice that the default message for the Order Status Changed event does not go to anyone. Instead, the Order All Complete message is sent when the Order's status is set to Complete. Order All Complete strongly resembles the New Order message, but has additional language in the subject and body that indicate that all items of the order are now complete.
The Order Status Changed message's "Who will Receive This Message" can be customized by the Admin User so it is sent every time the Order's Status changed.
6. Customizing the Email Content. You can insert "tags" into the email that the system will use to insert the related information. For example, the tag ##ORDER_NUMBER## will be replaced with the actual order number when the email is sent.

General rules:
- If the email message is about a full order, then anything which applies to an individual item will be unavailable. This includes shipping methods, shipping destinations, etc.
- In a message about a full order, the CART_SUMMARY will display details about each individual item. There is a template specifying which info about each item is shown. This template cannot currently be changed by admins.
- Adding other item-dependent tags to the message won't change the cart summary.
- The FORM_SUMMARY tag is only usable with the Form Submitted email. Only forms added to a content page (a page you created and added to the store) will trigger a Form Submitted email.
