Authelia uses templates to generate the HTML and plaintext emails sent via the notification service. Each template has two extensions; .html for HTML templates, and .txt for plaintext templates.

This guide effectively documents the usage of the template_path notification configuration option.

Template Names

Template Description
IdentityVerification Used to render notifications sent when registering devices or resetting passwords
PasswordReset Used to render notifications sent when password has successfully been reset

For example, to modify the IdentityVerification HTML template, if your template_path was configured as /config/email_templates, you would create the /config/email_templates/IdentityVerification.html file to override the HTML IdentityVerification template.

Placeholder Variables

In template files, you can use the following placeholders which are automatically injected into the templates:

Placeholder Templates Description
{{ .LinkURL }} IdentityVerification The URL associated with the notification if applicable.
{{ .LinkText }} IdentityVerification The display value for the URL associated with the notification if applicable.
{{ .Title }} All A predefined title for the email.
It will be "Reset your password" or "Password changed successfully", depending on the current step.
{{ .DisplayName }} All The name of the user, i.e. John Doe
{{ .RemoteIP }} All The remote IP address (client) that initiated the request or event.

Examples

This is a basic example:

<body>
  <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
  Hi {{ .DisplayName }}<br/>
  This email has been sent to you in order to validate your identity.
  Click <a href="{{ .LinkURL }}">here</a> to change your password.
</body>

Some Additional examples for specific purposes can be found in the examples directory on GitHub.
