Create and edit banner images for email notifications


Intended Audience:  Administrators

Summary

Upload up to 10 banner images per portal, to add your brand to your automated messages, and to custom email templates.

You can assign different banners for different courses. When Safety Made Simple sends automated messages about a specific course, the email includes its assigned banner.

Prerequisites

To use banners in email templates, you must enable custom email templates in Settings > Email > Custom Email Templates. Banners are not available for default email templates.

If you set a default banner, you can add this banner in your custom email templates, with the variable  {{banner_image}}

Tip: for email, you need to downsize your high-density images so that your email messages aren't slowed down by a large image file. Safety Made Simple limits email images to 500KB, aka 0.5MB.

  2. From Actions, select + Add Banner.

  5. Save & Upload to finish.

Remove a banner

  1. Select Settings > Email> Email Banners.
