So you want to customize subject format for standard emails? Great, let’s get started!
The subject for standard emails can be customized from: Admin
/ Settings
/ Email
/ email subject
Available formatting options are:
%{optional_re}[%{site_name}] %{optional_pm}%{optional_cat}%{topic_title}
-
%{optional_re}
→ Re: (applicable if the post is a Reply) -
%{site_name}
→ Community Title -
%{optional_pm}
→ [PM] (applicable if the post is a Personal Message) -
%{optional_cat}
→ [category] / [category/subcategory] {not applicable for uncategorized topics and PM) -
%{topic_title}
→ Topic title
Complied subject for typical email notification:
[Community Title] [category] Topic title
Please note that a trailing whitespace will automatically be appended to %{optional_re}
, %{optional_pm}
and %{optional_cat}
.
For Example, let’s consider this post:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-update-to-discourse-1-0/19328
The email subject formatting for Reply notification of above topic will be:
-
%{optional_re}
→ Re: -
%{site_name}
→ Discourse Meta -
%{optional_pm}
→ (Not Applicable) -
%{optional_cat}
→ [howto] -
%{topic_title}
→ How to update to Discourse 1.0?
Complied subject for the above topic will be:
Re: [Discourse Meta] [howto] How to update to Discourse 1.0?
