Email Templates

Create, customize, and manage reusable email templates for quick and consistent messaging.

Email Templates

We’ve improved the previous process flow from V2. A new Templates tab has been added, allowing users to easily create and update email templates using the Topol.io editor. Each template can now also be saved with a unique name for better organization.

Settings > Users

Email Templates

We updated the user settings and created 3 user profiles: Super Admin, Admin, and Standard user.

  • SUPER ADMIN – Has full control over the system, including managing all users, settings, and configurations. 
  • ADMIN – Has full control over the system, except for managing Super Admins. Can oversee all other users and system settings. 
  • STANDARD USER – Has access to assigned features and functionalities but no administrative privileges.

Important Note: The first user to log in to your organization’s account will automatically be assigned as the Super Admin. If this user should not be the Super Admin, they can assign another user to that role.
