Choose QCLF Email Triggers and Recipient Roles

QCLF 1.1.27’s canonical email event registry contains 70 product events. Each event defines its valid recipient audiences, default Core recipient, event-aware token set, publication default, subject, and plain-body factory content.

Custom templates on Max/All Access select from those existing events; they cannot invent a new workflow trigger.

Choose Trigger and Recipient

  1. Open or create a Custom email template on Max/All Access.
  2. Choose the QCLF event in Trigger.
  3. Choose Send To from the recipient roles supported by that trigger.
  4. Review the token buttons again after changing the trigger; the active token set changes with event context.
  5. Save the template and test it before publishing.

Current Recipient Audiences

  • Member / User
  • Topic Author
  • Message Author
  • Mentioned User
  • Topic Followers
  • Category Followers
  • Live Notification Subscribers
  • Host
  • Guest Author
  • Reporter
  • Moderator(s)
  • Administrator(s)

Core vs Custom Routing

A Core template uses the registry’s default recipient for its event and QCLF reconciles that routing automatically. A Custom template may use another recipient role only when that event explicitly allows the role. Invalid trigger/recipient combinations are refused at save time.

Delivery Matches Real Relationships

At runtime QCLF resolves the event’s actual current recipients: authors, mentions, subscriptions, Host, reporter, moderators, or configured administrator addresses. Published templates then match the recipient’s active role(s). Multiple published matching templates send independently.

No Per-Plan or Per-Category Template Scope in 1.1.27

The registry reports plan_scope=false and Custom templates save scope_type=all. Commercial plan gates control template capabilities; they do not add a separate per-Section/per-Category template routing scope in this release.
