Before you start

  • Only the owner can change messages. They carry sign-in and verification codes.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Email & SMS → Message templates.

  4. Press a chip under Insert a placeholder to add a value such as the code or the site name.

  6. For SMS in India, fill DLT template id.
  7. Save the message. To go back, press Reset to default.

Good to know

  • "{name} can't be used in this message. Remove it or pick a placeholder below."
  • "Sign-in and verification messages can't contain web addresses. Remove the link and keep only the code."
