Edit an Email Template

This guide walks through editing an Email Template: choosing its event and Department scope, updating title and subject, selecting the format and Published state, editing the plain/custom HTML bodies, and saving the result.

Where this fits in QC Support Ticket

QCST sends through Joomla Mail. The Email Templates tab controls QCST sender/reply routing, retry/reminder/satisfaction options, template content, Department-specific variants, and delivery diagnostics; it does not replace Joomla’s underlying mail transport configuration.

Basic uses the built-in professional HTML generated from the template’s plain-text content. Pro/Max can customize subject and HTML and can create Department-specific template variants; preserved higher-tier content is not meant to be destroyed by a downgrade.

Primary location: Joomla Administrator → Components → QC Support Ticket → Email Templates.

Before you begin

  • Confirm Joomla Mail works before diagnosing QCST template delivery. For inbound mail, confirm PHP IMAP is available and keep one controlled test message available.

How to do it

  1. Open the Email Templates tab and select the event/template you want to edit.
  2. Choose the default/general version or the intended Department-specific variant.
  3. Edit Title/Subject and template body. On Pro/Max, choose the supported format and edit custom HTML only when you actually need it.
  4. Confirm Published state and save.
  5. Use Preview and/or Send Test to validate rendering before triggering a live customer event.

Important behavior and limits

  • Basic uses built-in HTML derived from the template's plain content; Pro/Max can use custom HTML and Department-specific variants.

Verify the result

  • A controlled event produces the expected template, subject/tokens, recipient, and delivery record.
  • Recent delivery diagnostics show whether Joomla Mail accepted the send or whether QCST queued/retried it.

If it does not work as expected

  • If mail does not arrive, test Joomla Mail first, then verify Outbound Email is enabled, template publication/scope, recipient eligibility, and retry diagnostics.
