Ghost Email customization

[Sebastian_Tischer]

Dear Ghost team,

you are all doing an amazing job, and we all love Ghost

Still, in different threads I read about the necessity for email customization which I painfully noticed myself now.

We definitely need:

• Translation of transactional emails
• Design customization of transactional emails

The members feature you provide is amazing, but to build a real business model around it, we need to option to modify it as we have so many options to modify Ghost.

I enter this here in the ideas section to get votes, and link other threads:

Email Template Customization

Congratulations on the work you are doing with Ghost. I didn’t find anything in the documentation about email customization. Is there a way to personalize the email that comes after the login / registration / payment process? Currently the same email and the same text always arrive.

Custom Email Design

I’m pretty new to Ghost and was wondering if there was a way to customise the design of an email template? I have experience in designing email visuals and also building these in HTML and CSS so wasn’t sure if there was a way of uploading my custom designed and built templates to send out?

Custom message email invitation

Can a set custom message email invitation, if yes how? I want make it to “white label branding”

Thank you and warm regards
Sebastian

I think this is very important, at least the translation of these emails.

It would be great to be able to write our own html and then use handlebars to pull in data, similar to how we do with the normal theming.

Hi,

you can edit the 3 templates for the transactional emails called:
signin.js
signup.js
subscribe.js

path:
/var/www/ghost/versions/3.15.3/core/server/services/members/emails/*

Note: Those are core files and will be overwritten on ghost updates (so make backups)

EDIT: restart ghost after editing the files

[Izak_Jackson]

I have changed them, then tested a sign up and the changes have not taken effect. The files are showing correctly on the server.

Hi @Izak_Jackson,

have you restarted ghost?

[Izak_Jackson]

That worked, thanks

[Simbob]

we need translations!

My particular need is in customisation of actual “newsletter” emails (ie emails that come from posts). Is this considered also a vote for that, or is it worth starting a separate idea? Is there an easy way to edit the email newsletter template? Will there be?

Can you do this if Ghost is hosting your site or only with a self hosted implementation?

[daniel1]

Hi @trevor,

i’m afraid that’s only possible for self-hosted solutions, as you don’t have access to core files on a hosted ghost installation
