Modify default workflow email templates

Identity Governance creates default email templates for access request-related features. For example, the Approval node references the default access request email templates.

Advanced Identity Cloud upgrades replace email templates with the default templates. To preserve your email template modifications, duplicate a template before you edit it, and then use the duplicate in your workflows.

  1. From the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to Email > Templates.

  2. View the following default email templates:

    Email template name Description

    Request Assigned

    Initial email to the approver(s) of a resource when an end user submits an access request.

    Request Reassigned

    Email to the new assignee when an approver forwards a request item.

    Request Escalated

    Email to an individual assigned as the escalation point of contact.

    Request Reminder

    Email to the approver(s) as a reminder that they have a request item to act on.

    Request Expired

    Email to the approver(s) when a request item expires. The end user defines the expiry of the access request when they submit the access request.

  3. For each email template you want to customize:

    1. Click the desired template to view its contents.

    2. Click the ellipsis icon (more_horiz) and click Duplicate.

    3. Enter the required details and click Save.

    4. Update the email subject and body of the duplicated template. Learn more about customizing email templates at Email templates.

      To reference access request information in a variable in an email template, use syntax similar to the following:

      request.user.userName

      The variables you can reference depend on your tenant’s configurations; therefore, they’re specific to your company.

      To reference available attributes from the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to Email > Template > Select template > Variables.
