Email notifications
Open GiveBlocks > Email Notifications.
Email types #
- Donation receipt
- Ticket confirmation
- Magic donor portal access link
Use the dropdown to edit one template at a time.
Editable content #
- From address
- Subject
- Complete HTML email body
The From address must be authorized by the site’s email provider. WordPress accepting the address does not guarantee that the receiving mail server will accept the message.
Template placeholders #
Templates can use these placeholders where applicable:
{name}{campaign}{site_name}{amount}{currency}{frequency}{transaction_id}{receipt_message}{portal_url}{magic_url}{tickets}{year}
Not every placeholder is meaningful for every email type.
Send a test email #
- Select the email type.
- Enter the test recipient.
- Select Save & Send Test.
- Confirm delivery and review the email on desktop and mobile.
Test emails use sample transaction values.
Email delivery #
GiveBlocks sends through WordPress wp_mail(). For production use, configure a reputable transactional email or SMTP provider and authenticate the sending domain with SPF, DKIM, and any provider-recommended DNS records.
