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:
Complete examples

#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, then enter the following code to 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 close tag
Note!
Never forget to close tags.
