Overview
On the Custom Welcome Emailpage in the Userssection of the Adminmenu, you can customize the body of the welcome email that is sent to new users inviting them to activate their accounts. Using HTML, you can specify custom formatting, links, and images. This can be useful, for example, when you want to provide new users with helpful information and resources to help them get started with Looker.
Enabling custom welcome emails
To create custom body content for welcome emails, navigate to Custom Welcome Emailin the Userssection of the Adminpanel.
Switch on the Use custom HTML for welcome email bodytoggle on the Customize Your Welcome Email Copypage.
If the switch is turned off, Looker will display the default welcome email.
Creating a custom welcome email
When custom welcome emails are enabled, Looker displays a box with the content of the welcome email. Using HTML, you can edit the body of the welcome email by adding formatting, links, and images.
The subject line "Welcome to Looker," the heading "You've been invited to join Looker!" at the top of the welcome email, and the Activate Your Accountbutton cannot be customized and will appear in all welcome emails. Clicking on the Activate Your Accountbutton in the email opens the page for users to create a new account.
For a list of HTML and CSS that Looker supports, see the HTML sanitization documentation page.
Testing custom welcome emails
To test your new welcome email, save your changes by selecting Save Changes, then click the Send Test Emailbutton at the bottom of the Custom Welcome Emailpage. This sends an example of your custom welcome email to the email address that is associated with your Looker account.
