Rejection E-mail Template Values
The template values that are valid for your rejection e-mails depend on what type of item you are processing. When you are adding rejection e-mails it is recommended that you create separate e-mails for account and link rejections, and label each according to their type in the Identifier field so you don't accidentally send an account rejection message when you reject a link. The template values available are:
- If you are rejecting a link, the template values for the email-link-added.tpl template are valid
- If you are rejecting a user account, the template values for the email-account-added.tpl template are valid
