To modify a template for a specific hierarchy, clone the default to the hierarchy.
When adding a HTML template from the list view, the Name can only be “Test Email Template” or “Quick Add Subscriber”.
By default, the following email templates are provided:
- Test Email Template
- Clone this template to your hierarchy if you want to customize it.

- Quick Add Subscriber
- This template is used if the setting is enabled in Global Settings.

Values from the Quick Add Subscriber input form can be used to populate the template by adding variables to the HTML template. The following variables are available for the template:
| Field name on input form | Variable available in HTML |

| Username: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.username }} |
| First name: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.firstname }} |
| Last name: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.lastname }} |
| One time password: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.password }} |
| One time PIN: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.pin }} |
| Access Code: | {{ pwf.EMAIL.phone_access_code }} |
