# Email Language & Templates Every email the platform sends on your behalf — welcome emails, password resets, appointment confirmations, credit warnings, team invites — now goes out in the reader's own language. And if our wording isn't the wording you want, you can rewrite any of those emails yourself. Two separate things, on two separate pages: | What you want | Where to go | |---|---| | Change the language your own emails arrive in | Settings → **Profile** → **Language** | | Set the language for a client's very first emails | Settings → **White Labeling** → **Email branding** | | Rewrite the wording of an email | Settings → **Email Templates** | --- ## Emails Arrive in Each Person's Own Language You don't switch this on. It already works. Whoever receives an email gets it in the language set on **their** account, not yours. If a client set their app to Nederlands, their password reset arrives in Nederlands. If a teammate uses Español, their team invite arrives in Español. Everyone reading the same kind of email can be reading it in a different language, and nobody has to do anything. If someone hasn't picked a language yet, their emails arrive in English. Emails are sent in every language the app is available in (see [Account Settings](account-settings.md#preferences) for the list). Arabic and Hebrew emails are laid out right-to-left, the way those readers expect. ### Changing the language you get emails in 1. Click **Settings** at the bottom of the left sidebar. 2. Open **Profile** (it's the first item, under **Account**). 3. In the **Preferences** card on the right, choose your **Language**. 4. Click **Save**. That one setting covers both things: the language the app is shown in, and the language your emails arrive in. ::: master-only

Settings → Profile → Preferences. The Language you pick here is the language your emails arrive in too.

::: Each of your client sub-accounts has the same setting on their own Profile, so a client can pick their language themselves without asking you. > Your AI's replies are a different setting. The bot answers each contact in whatever language that contact writes in, and an agent's own primary language is set on the agent — see [Setting Up Your AI Bot](../ai-automation/ai-bot-setup.md). Changing your email language doesn't change how the bot talks to anyone. --- ## The First Emails, Before a Client Has Picked a Language There's a gap at the very start: the signup and checkout emails go out *before* a new client has ever opened the app, so there's no language on their account to follow yet. Those fall back to English unless you say otherwise. **How to get there:** Settings → **Advanced** group → **White Labeling**, then scroll to the **Email branding** card. Set **Default language** to whatever your clients mostly speak, and those first emails go out in that language instead. Leave it on **None (English)** to keep them in English. The same setting also decides the language of your domain's sign-in, password and signup pages for visitors who have not picked a language yet — see [White Labeling](../agency/white-labeling.md#default-language-for-the-sign-in-page). ::: master-only

The Email branding card on the White Labeling page, showing the Default email language dropdown set to None (English), above the Footer tagline and Footer links fields — Default language sits at the top of the Email branding card. It covers the sign-in pages and the emails sent before a client has a language of their own — after that, each client's own setting takes over.

::: Click **Save** on the card when you're done. From the second email onwards, each client's own language is used, so this setting quietly stops mattering once they're in the app. If you run more than one branded domain, each one gets its own default — handy when one storefront sells to a different country than the others. --- ## Rewriting an Email in Your Own Words Our wording is fine, but it isn't your wording. **Email Templates** lets you replace it — for one language, or for all of them at once. **How to get there:** Settings → **Advanced** group → **Email Templates**. This section is part of white labeling, so it appears on the Agency and Agency Unlimited plans (and on the AppSumo tiers that include white labeling). ::: master-only

The Email Templates page, showing the search box and emails grouped by category, each row with its subject line and a Default badge on the right — Every email you can rewrite, grouped by what it's about. A Default badge means that email still uses our wording.

::: Every email you can rewrite is listed, grouped into categories like **Critical alerts**, **Appointments**, **Credit alerts** and **Subscription updates**, with a count on each group. Use the search box at the top to find one by its subject line or by the short name underneath it. The badge on the right of each row tells you where it stands: - **Default** — still using our wording. - **Customized** — you've written your own version, used for every language. - **Customized (Nederlands)** — you've written a version for that one language only. Anything you don't touch keeps using our wording, translated into each reader's language as usual. You never have to do all of them. ### Writing your version Click any row to open it. ::: master-only

The email template editor for the Welcome! email, with the Your version card on the left (Language, Use my version, Subject, Message) and the Preview and What we send today cards on the right — Your version on the left, a live Preview on the right, and our current wording underneath it for reference.

::: The left-hand **Your version** card is where you write: - **Language** — leave it on **All languages** to write one version everybody gets, or pick a single language to write a version just for those readers. A version for a specific language always wins over the all-languages one. - **Use my version** — turn this off to go back to our wording without deleting what you wrote. Handy for trying something and putting it back. - **Subject** — optional, and plain text only. The greyed-out text you see is our current subject: leave the box empty and that's exactly what we'll send, in whichever language the reader gets. Most people rewrite the message and keep the subject. - **Message** — the body, and the one part you do need to write. Leave a blank line between paragraphs; everything else appears exactly as you type it. Three buttons sit under the message box: - **Add variable** — drops in a personal detail like the reader's first name or their account balance. Each one shows an example of what it'll look like, and only the variables that email actually knows about are offered. - **Add link** — a link inside a sentence. - **Add button** — a big clickable button. Put the label first, then the link after the `|` sign. You can also wrap words in `**` for bold. The **Preview** on the right updates as you type — including when you've only written the message and left the subject alone, in which case it shows your message under our subject, exactly as it would send. It uses your own logo and colours with some example values filled in. Underneath it, **What we send today** shows our current wording for the language you picked, so you can compare. You can't copy from it — write your own version instead. ### Writing a version for one language Pick the language from the **Language** dropdown before you start writing. Each language keeps its own separate version, so you can rewrite the Dutch welcome email without touching the English one. ::: master-only

The Language dropdown open in the email template editor, showing All languages selected at the top followed by English, Nederlands, Español, Română and more — All languages at the top writes one version for everybody. Pick a single language underneath it to write a version just for those readers.

::: ### Checking it before it goes out Click **Save**, then **Send test email**. It sends the email to your own address so you can see it in a real inbox rather than a preview pane. You can send 5 of these an hour. Changes apply to new emails from the moment you save. Emails already sent aren't affected. ### Going back to our wording Two ways, depending on what you want: - **Use my version**, switched off — keeps everything you wrote, but sends our wording in the meantime. - **Reset to default** — deletes your version for that language for good. It asks you to confirm first. --- ## What You Can't Change A few emails aren't in the list, and that's deliberate: verification codes, email-change confirmations and other security messages. Their wording is what makes them trustworthy and hard to imitate, so it stays as it is. They're still translated into the reader's language like everything else. --- ## Need Help?
