      • TLS: Port 587 can be used.

For example, your template can apply a standard header or footer to all your emails. Use the token {Replace_Message_Body} in your HTML template to replace the actual message body of the communication. 

This configuration does NOT override the communication template. Instead, the HTML code gets applied on the communication template itself. 

For example, the HTML Tag H1 is used for defining Headings. If you specify the {Replace_Message_Body} Tag inside the H1 HTML Tag, the system applies the Heading format to the entire communication template body.

Configure a Specific Reply To Display Name

 The Reply To Display Name can be customized so that any emails received by your users from Intelligent Service Management will display your customized name. You can control the Reply To Display Name from three places in the application:

  2. From MANAGE> ADMINISTRATION> Tools> Slice Configuration> Outbound Email tab, in the Reply To Display Name field.
  3. In a communication template, under the Reply to Display Name field.
