Edit QCFUM Email Subjects and Plain-Text Bodies

Every QCFUM email template has an editable title, subject, and plain-text body. Those three values are required when the template is saved, regardless of plan or whether Pro+ Custom HTML is also in use.

Plain text is not merely an editor fallback: it is the source QCFUM uses to generate its built-in responsive HTML whenever Custom HTML is not active for the current entitlement/template.

Open the Template Editor

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator → Email.
  2. Locate the template and choose Edit.
  3. Change the Subject and Plain-text body as needed.
  4. Review Published state and Format.
  5. Save, then use Send Test and a real safe workflow test before production use.

Required Fields

QCFUM refuses the save if Template title, Subject, or Plain-text body is blank. Description is optional. Core templates retain their permanent template key; a new Custom template receives a normalized key when it does not already have one.

Built-in HTML Follows Plain Text

When the effective email mode is Built-in HTML from Plain Text, QCFUM generates the responsive HTML at render time from the saved plain-text body. Editing the plain text therefore changes both the plain alternative and the generated HTML message.

Custom HTML Is Separate

When Pro+ Custom HTML is enabled, the saved HTML body is rendered independently. Editing only the plain-text body does not rewrite the Custom HTML body. Keep both versions synchronized when the template is in Custom HTML mode.

Tokens Are Not Required-Field Validation

The save routine does not enforce a required token set. Removing a token can remove important runtime content without causing the template save to fail. For example, a temporary-password workflow still changes the Joomla password even if its email template no longer contains the temporary-password token. Review workflow-critical tokens deliberately.
