Change Automated Email content

[kaleygel]

Welcome email After a user signs up at Datum, we have an automated "welcome email" that is sent to the new user.

Since we're actively working on removing the waitlist, our audience will gradually broaden beyond our friends & family, we'd like to adjust the "sender" and the email content to speak to this new, and broader user base.

Sender Address Update
instead of the current "zac@mail.datum.net" sender address we'd like the sender address to be: team@

Email update

Subject line: [First Name] Welcome to Datum!

Body:

Hey, , welcome to Datum! We’re glad you're here.

Datum is building for a future that is evolving in front of our eyes, so we're shipping updates all the time. We're also serious about making improvements based on feedback, so if you've got some for us (good, bad, ugly) we'd love to have it.

Here’s how to stay in the loop, get help, or get involved:

Email - Respond to this note and we'll get back to you
Discord – Join for support and connect with other builders
Luma – Know when and where to meet us in person
GitHub Discussions – Submit feedback, report issues, or request & upvote features
Careers - We're actively hiring, and value folks spreading the word

❤️
The Team at Datum

@yahyafakhroji could you update the email template with the new needs?

Pls let me know once its done, and I'll proceed with updating the email address.

[yahyafakhroji]

@kaleygel Can you complete the “loop” section with a link? Thanks

[kaleygel]

Oh gosh how silly of me! Sorry @yahyafakhroji - Links are in now!

[yahyafakhroji]

@kaleygel Here's an email preview for the case above. I've also sent it to your Datum email address for a sample preview.

[kaleygel]

This looks great @yahyafakhroji thank you! Is it possible to have "we're glad you're here" on the same line as "Welcome to datum"? so that it reads " Hey, name, welcome to Datum! We’re glad you're here."

Are we also able to update the "Sender" address to team@datum.net ?

[yahyafakhroji]

@kaleygel Updated!. for the "Sender", @JoseSzycho will help with that. What I sent to your email is just a preview preview, which Jose will later integrate into the backend side.

[JoseSzycho]

@yahyafakhroji I see that now we have the userwelcome-emailtemplate.yaml email template.

Could you please give me the variables that are needed?

[yahyafakhroji]

@JoseSzycho the email only need "UserName" for the varibles. You can fill it with full name or first name

@JoseSzycho Ideally I think first name would be preferable, so that it's more casual / informal in tone :)
