Customize emails for cost usage reports

Log in to the Abiquo API Server as an administrator

In the config folder, if there is no mail folder, create a mail folder and set the owner as the tomcat user

In the mail folder, create the following files

1. Email file for notification of report ready for download

   costUsageReportTemplate_en_US.mustache

   <p>Hi {{username}},</p> <p>Your cost usage report {{reportname}} has been generated. You can now download it from your Abiquo portal</p> <p>To make any changes, please go to the Cost usage reports tab in the Abiquo platform and edit your scheduled reports.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>The Abiquo Team</p>

2. Properties file for notification of report ready for download
   There is a known issue in Abiquo 6.2.0 where the server cannot find the properties file, so you cannot customize the subject of the mail

   costUsageReport_en_US.properties

   subject=Abiquo cost usage report ready to download

    If you change the subject property, you must restart the Tomcat server to apply your changes

3. Email file for notification of cancelled report
   costUsageReportScheduleNotAvailableTemplate_en_US.mustache

4. Properties file for notification of cancelled report
   costUsageReportScheduleNotAvailable_en_US.properties

   If you change the subject property, you must restart the Tomcat server to apply your changes

Optionally add custom variables and content

1. In the email body, to add a custom variable, use double curly braces (also called double mustaches). For example

2. Then in your properties file, set a value for your custom variable

    To return unescaped HTML as part of a template property, use the triple mustache, which is {{{ and }}}.
   The Mustache templating software that adds the property values will escape HTML variables in double mustaches by default.

Change the owner of the files to the tomcat user
