Is it possible to edit the email templates which Lyra sends out to new users for activation link? ---

Hey @specter 👋 it is not possible just yet. If it’s absolutely critical for you to modify the templates you could do it directly in the [source code](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/tree/3.1.1/core/server/services/members/emails). Bear in mind if you do so, you’d need to support your changes yourself 😉 ---

I am not interested in self-hosting. I must have customization at every level. These two things shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. I am tired of having to learn new skills in order to support a very simple platform with very simple needs. If the standard template didn’t include emotes and would just take direct ties from the sign-in sheets from .hbs it would be way easier. Then my sign-in process would corroborate with the email template. ---

@specter at the moment we have this feature in the backlog but have no timeline on when it will be available just yet. I have noted your feedback, so it will be definitely taken into account when we work on it 😉 ---

Hey gargol! I have successfully modified the subscribe and sign in link in the source code on my DO instance. I would like to do the same for the email newsletter template. In server \> services \> mail \> templates there’s a few, so I was wondering which one it is. Best, ---

@anbuteau I believe what you are looking to modify is this template - [Ghost/template.js at 3.1.1 · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/3.1.1/core/server/services/mega/template.js). Please note, I **do not** recommend modifying the contents of the file as it will become a PITA to upgrade when the core changes any of these template files. Please bare this in mind when changing it ;) ---

Understood, thanks Gargol!
