This article requires advanced skills to implement.
Salesforce Admin

1. Locate the Transactional Emails Section

  • In the StoreConnect Dashboard, go to:

    • StoreConnect NavigationConfigurationStoresAll Stores.
  • Open your store record.

  • Go to the Additional Relationships tab.

  • Under Transactional Emails, click View All to see the default transactional emails.

    • Emails here can be enabled, disabled, and modified.

2. Understand the Transactional Email Settings

  • Each email has the following columns:

    • Enabled → whether the email is active.

    • Order Status → the order status that triggers the email.

      • Example: Open an Order Record and view the order statuses at the top to understand what status will trigger an email.
    • Checkout Step → the checkout stage that affects sending the email.

    • Cart Abandoned → whether this applies to abandoned cart emails.

    • Email Template → the content/template used for the email.


3. Configure an Individual Transactional Email

  • Select an email (e.g. Order Payment Success) and click Edit.

  • Configure the following fields:

    • Enabled/Disabled.

    • Store it belongs to.

    • Whether it relates to an abandoned cart.

    • The Email Template used.

    • The Order Status it responds to.

    • The Checkout Step it responds to.


4. View and Edit Email Templates

  • Go to Salesforce Setup (click the cog icon).

  • In the Quick Find bar, search for Classic Email Templates.

  • Open the folder StoreConnect Templates.

  • Locate and open the desired template (e.g. Order Payment Success).

  • View a preview and click Edit Properties to modify:

    • Name of the template.

    • Folder assignment.

    • Internal Description.

    • Subject line.


5. Edit the Template Content

  • To fully edit the email, click Edit Template to open the HTML editor.

  • Note: StoreConnect templates may be managed (some properties may not be editable).

  • To create a fully editable version:

    • Click Clone to duplicate the template.

    • Provide a new name and description.

    • Save your cloned template.


6. Apply the Cloned Template (if used)

  • After cloning:

    • Go back to Transactional Emails.

    • Edit the relevant email record.

    • Update the Template API Name to match your new clone.

    • The system will now send the new template instead of the old one.


7. View Email History for an Order

  • In an individual order record:

    • Go to Activities to view a complete history of all emails sent to the customer.

    • Example: See if the Payment Success email was sent.


8. Prevent Emails for a Specific Order

  • If needed, stop transactional emails for a specific order:

    • Click MoreNotifications.

    • Uncheck Send Confirmation Emails.

    • This prevents future transactional emails for that order.


9. Configure Additional Standard Emails

  • In your Store Record, go to the Email tab.

  • Configure templates for the following additional standard emails:

    • Customer Email Address Confirmation Email.

    • Contact Invitation Email.

    • Reset Password Notification Email.

  • You can also configure the email address from which emails are sent.
