The Absorb LMS sends automatic emails and system notifications based on action triggers, and these communications are referred to as Messages. Each Message is generated from a Message Template that can be customized. This article is a complete reference for the Message Templates available in Absorb LMS: what triggers each one, who can customize it, and which fields it supports.
For how to edit and configure templates, see Message Templates. For a full list of field variables and where they are available, see Message Template Fields.
Available Message Templates
The table below lists each Message Template, the action that triggers it, and the fields available for use within it. Availability varies by template: some appear only when the related feature, license, or add-on is enabled for your Portal, and field options differ from one template to the next. Confirm the individual template in the Message Templates Report before configuring it.
Reminder-based templates such as Course Nudge, Session Reminder, and the Course Due Date reminders are configured at the Course level; see Nudge Message Templates. The Mandatory Course Digest Email is covered in Mandatory Courses Email Digest.
