Managing message templates

Message templates control the wording of the emails GSA sends as applications, approvals and bookings move. Override the defaults and every message reads the way your site wants, not a generic line.

This guide covers:

  • Overriding a message body per site, so the same event reads in your site’s voice
  • Wording a message differently per workflow where that suits
  • Recognising which events trigger which messages, and who receives each
  • Working within the email engine that carries account, submission, approval, profile, booking and training events
  • Composing one-off ad-hoc emails to workers, employers, roles or groups, with a sent log and resend

Word these once and your communications stay consistent across every worker, with no re-keying.

💡 Power User Insight: Only the body is overridable — the subject line is global per message type. SMS is limited to mobile verification and password reset, not general messaging.
