  • Quick actions and Integrations related variables are available in their respective sections and can be used as needed within the email templates.



  • You can also preview how your template looks to the customer by going to the preview button next to the body button.



  • You can also send test mail to check its appearance before it reaches your customers, ensuring everything looks as expected.



  • You can add an email address in the BCC section to retain a copy of each outgoing email. This can be useful for reference if a subscriber doesn’t receive an email or accidentally deletes it; you can then verify the content by checking the email sent to the BCC address.



Branding the email template


Loop offers a powerful editor that allows you to fully customize the design and appearance of your email templates, helping you create visually appealing and brand-aligned emails. To access the configuration screen, navigate to Settings > Notifications > Branding.


This section is divided into four parts, each explained in detail below.


  1. Logo: Add your brand’s logo to personalize the email header.



  1. Header: Customize the email header with HTML for tailored messaging.



  1. Footer: Modify the footer using HTML to include brand links or legal info.



  1. Styles: Control font size, colors, logo height, and header position to match your brand’s identity.



Note: Once the branding configuration is complete, open the specific email template and ensure that the branding variables are correctly placed within the HTML structure to avoid any formatting issues in the final email.



Notification preferences


You can configure notification preferences for the following two notifications, such as setting the upcoming order notification to be sent 3 days before the billing date.



FAQs


Will the card expiry notification email be sent only if the customer has an upcoming renewal order, or will it be sent regardless? Also, can we configure it to send only one notification instead of all three (30, 15, and 3 days before expiry)?

The card expiry notification is sent if the customer has an active subscription, it is not tied to the upcoming order date. Currently, there's no option to limit the notification to just one email; all three will be sent. However, merchants can use third-party apps like Klaviyo to create a custom flow and trigger a single notification based on the expiry event sent from Loop.
