The Notification Templates section allows you to create, edit and organize your CAP message templates. They are organized by CAP category.
New templates can be added using the “Add New Template” button. You’ll be promoted to enter the CAP message values. You can add variable placeholders by surrounding them in square brackets E.g.: [Variable Name]. When the user attempts to send a message containing variable placeholders, they’ll be required to enter values for those placeholders before sending the message.
You can search for and edit existing CAP templates using the toolbar interface. Existing templates can be “Cloned”. This makes a copy of the template, and prepends the words “Clone of” before the new template name. Adjust cloned templates accordingly.
