Email Templates
How it works
Section titled “How it works”You create one email template per status. When a ticket moves to that status, the customer receives an email automatically — no manual action needed.
Emails are sent via Resend from your RepairTracker account.
Setting up a template
Section titled “Setting up a template”Go to Settings > Email Templates.
- Click a status to create or edit its template.
- Write a subject line and body. Use variables (below) to personalize the message.
- Toggle the template Active to enable sending.
Available variables
Section titled “Available variables”Use these in both the subject and body:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
{{ticket_number}} | The ticket number (e.g., REP-00042) |
{{customer_name}} | Customer’s full name |
{{item_description}} | Item being repaired |
{{status_name}} | The new status name |
{{estimated_date}} | Estimated completion date |
{{shop_name}} | Your business name |
{{status_url}} | Link to the customer portal status page |
{{tracking_number}} | Outbound tracking number |
{{shipping_carrier}} | Shipping carrier name |
Active and inactive templates
Section titled “Active and inactive templates”Each template has an active/inactive toggle. Inactive templates are saved but won’t trigger emails. This lets you draft templates before enabling them or temporarily pause notifications for a status.
Confirmation on status change
Section titled “Confirmation on status change”When you change a ticket’s status and that status has an active email template, you’ll see a confirmation modal before the email is sent. This prevents accidental emails.
Email consent required
Section titled “Email consent required”Emails are only sent if the customer has email consent enabled on their customer record. If consent is not granted, the status changes normally but no email is sent.
Plan limits
Section titled “Plan limits”- Free plan: 1 active email template.
- Pro plan: Unlimited templates.
On the Free plan, you can create templates for multiple statuses but only one can be active at a time.
