Features of working with variables in templates
When you make links to site pages in templates with variables of the form %LINK_TO_BOOKING% in the links pulled the domain name of the site specified in the administrative section of the setting Site management → Domains and protocols → Agency domain name for settings upload.
If several domain names are specified in this setting, the first of them will be used to generate the link.
Features of working with the letters for charters
The text of the email is set in Site management → Text resources as a correspondence to the Text for mail with certificate label.
Email newsletter settings
The settings required for mailing are located in System settings → Notifications and documents → Letter templates . In the SMTP login field, you must specify the e-mail address from which all e-mail templates will be sent.
Attention! It is strongly recommended to use the agency's own mail server, because the Websky test mail server can be unstable due to its use on many test sites.
In the SMTP server field indicates the mail server used (for example, "smtp.mail.ru").
In the SMTP password field, specify the password of the mailbox you are going to use for mailing.
The function of sending test letters is used to test the mailing system: you should send a test letter to the mailbox indicated in the agency settings when you click on the «Send Test Mail» link.
Sending copies of emails
The system provides the possibility to send copies of letters about bookings, cancellations, etc. to additional mailboxes specified in the mail settings (System settings → Notifications and documents → Options). To use the settings, use ";" in the E-mail address for copies of notifications field to specify e-mail addresses of users to whom letters should be sent (for example: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]).
Also, in the System settings → Notifications and documents → Letter templates section, you can specify in the Address for hidden copy of e-mail field the e-mail addresses to which hidden copies of e-mails generated on the basis of a particular template will be sent.
