You can personalize the standard alerts that Dooster sends out.
(These are the emails that the system sends out – for example when you assign a task, the person assigned gets an alert / email).
What can you change
Basically anything.
Both the subject and body of these can be customized by you with our easy to use tool.
How to adjust your alerts
Go to Account Settings / Configure Alerts
Scroll down to the section Customize Your Dooster Alert Emails
Then from the list of Alert types simply select which alert you would like to edit and adjust it accordingly.
Preview how the alert will look by selecting the Preview button.
Reset the alert to the default / original Dooster version at any time by selecting Reset.
Markers
These are simple coding devices (sometimes called “Tokens”) that allow you to include things like the users first name – eg Dear Paul” – and so on.
You simply enter the marker wherever you wish, using two asterisks on either side – eg see above image where the marker “USER_FIRST_NAME” becomes “Paul” in the resulting email – assuming that the user being assigned the task is “Paul”
…and TASK_SHORT shows a short (5 word) version of either the task subject or description.
Simply copy and paste your required marker(s) into your draft if and when you require them.
We list all the markers you can use below with a description of what each one does. But don’t worry. The same list is displayed – and easy to find – where you need it, below each edit field.
Note: The standard footer showing infomation about the task cannot be removed.
