Date and time format

The date and/or time can be displayed in different ways in emails and on e-tickets. With variables such as #STARTDATE()# or #EXPIRES()# it is possible to determine the formatting between the brackets:

  • Weekday
    • ddd - name of weekday abbreviated
    • dddd - name of weekday written in full
  • Date
    • d - single digit (1)
    • dd - double digit (01)
  • Month
    • MM - two-digit month
    • MMM - abbreviation of the month name
    • MMMM - month name written in full
  • Year
    • yy - last two digits of the year
    • yyyy - year written in full
  • Time
    • HH - hours
    • mm - minutes

It is also possible to insert text between the brackets, then use a backslash \ for letters that are also used as variables. For example:

  • Date in short American format:
    #STARTDATE(MM.dd.yyyy)#
  • Date in long American format:
    #STARTDATE(dddd MMMM d, yyyy)#

Insert link

To insert a clickable link, enter the following code: 

<a style="text-decoration:none; color: #000000;" href="URL to link to" target="_blank">Clickable text in the email</a>

Insert image

To insert an image first upload the image to the skin via Administration > Integrations > Skin, copy the image address and then enter the following code into the email template:

<tr>
     <td align="center" >
          <img src="Link to image - hosted on the skin" width="200" height="133" border="0">
     </td>
</tr>

Play around with the width and height to give the image the right size. 


Useful tags

Some useful tags to format the text in emails:

<strong>Bold</strong>
<em>Italics</em>
<br> inserts a line break between sentences, and does not need a closing tag

Email templates of the type EventAutoSend can include the tag data-editable. This allows you to edit the text enclosed within this tag when sending an email via the SMS/Email tab in an event.

<div data-editable>
     <p>This content can be edited</p>
     <p>Just like this</p>
</div>
Never forget to close tags
