Email Templates

LicenseSpot provides the ability to send automated email messages to your users and customers. This emails are triggered within LicenseSpot depending on certain events.

Currently, you can configure emails to be sent on three events:

• On Create: will send an email when a license is created. This is the most used event as when  license is created you’d want to send the serial number to the customer so they can activate.
• On Activate: this will send an email when a customer activates. It’s useful to send congratulatory emails as a way to build trust with your customers.
• On Revoke: this will send an email when the license is revoked. It can be used to notify the customer that their licensed was revoke and maybe incentivate them to buy another license.

You can configure the events on the License Template screen:
