Editing Email Text Tokens
Community Server uses email text tokens as placeholders that will vary from one email to the next. A common email text token is username, which obviously will be different for every user that is referenced by the username value. Email text tokens are always enclosed in square brackets.
- <email emailType="ContactForm" priority="High">
<subject>([AppTitle]) : [Subject]</subject>
<fromName>[Name]</fromName>
<fromAddress>[useremail]</fromAddress>
<body>[body] ---------------------------------- This email was sent by [Name] ([useremail]) from a form at [link]. (Your email address was not shared with the user).</body>

In the example above, [AppTitle] and [Name] are two of the email text tokens in the email template. The text tokens are not case sensitive.
You can create your own templates or modify the existing templates. The templates are located in the emails.xml file. To access the emails.xml file, navigate to [Community Server root folder] / Languages /en-US /emails.
Note: The en-US folder is a language key and depends on the language pack. For example, in French the folder will be fr-FR.
