Customize invitation and sign-in emails, and find workflows that send email, from App settings → Notifications.
These settings are available for apps shared to the web with authentication. Internal apps use your organization’s permissions instead.

​
Open Notifications and emails

Open your app, click Settings , then select Notifications in the sidebar.

​
Set branding and sender

Customizing invitation and sign-in email branding, sender, and content is available on the Business plan and above.
Under Branding & sender:
  • Email branding: Choose a brand kit, or select Inherit from app to use the app’s brand kit.
  • Sent from: Emails send from Zite by default. Click Connect an email account to use Gmail, Outlook, or Custom SMTP.
These settings apply to invitation and sign-in emails. Click Save after changing the brand kit or sender selection.

​
Invitation, sign-in, and custom emails

The Emails section shows previews of your invitation and sign-in emails. The Custom emails card lists workflows that send email.
Invitation emails send only when Send invite emails is checked on the external Users invite modal. If you uncheck it, no invitation email is sent and the person is added as an active user.
Invitation sign-in links expire after 7 days; sign-in magic links expire after 15 minutes. An invitation that links to the login page instead has no expiry.
Invitation, Sign-in, and Custom emails cards

​
Custom emails from workflows

Use the Custom emails card to open Workflows filtered to those that send email. If none exist yet, click Send an email, then describe what you want in the builder chat. See Notify with email to connect Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP in a workflow. For emails in Arabic, Hebrew, or another right-to-left language, ask Zite to use a right-to-left email layout. Send a test email to check the text, punctuation, and numbers before publishing.

​
Edit an invitation or sign-in email

Open the Invitation or Sign-in card to edit its template. You can also ask Zite to update the email in chat. For example, “Make the invitation email welcome customers to our client portal and explain that they can track their projects there.” The same Business-plan requirement applies.
