You can use PingDirectory email templates in a variety of ways. An example email template is provided in the Delegated Admin package at the top level in the delegated-admin-account-created.template file. This template provides a multi-part text and HTML email to the user with their user name and initial password, along with a self-service link they can use to sign on to PingFederate and change their password and profile information.

For additional information, see Edit and copy the email template to PingDirectory Server in the PingDirectory Server Administration Guide.
