EMail Template

[Pontiac76]

The short ask;
Is there a file that I can edit in the docker container (Exposed so I can edit outside the container, and put the template into github) that changes the email format going out? I checked the documentation and I don't see anything that EXPLICITLY points me to the file for this format. I've not done a recursive grep on what is in the container yet.

The long ask;
I've got Pulse 5.1.35 running under Docker successfully. I've been enjoying it since late release 4.something. I recently have been upgrading my VMs (Quite a lot of them) on my homelab and noticed that a bunch of them have been failing upgrades because of free space issues. MY BAD for not watching that. I noticed in v5 that there's a way to send out notifications. I didn't have an SMTP server to ship to, I wasn't going to hook it up to Google or SMTP2GO which could eventually incur dollars, so I went with looking at MailRise as something that'll injest emails and then fire off notifications to whatever targets I want and are available.

What I noticed, though, if I use SMTP, Discord gets really long emails, purely because of formatting. I'm 100% onboard in understanding WHY that's happening. Is there some file I can edit that I can change that template going out to be more easy on the eyes?

I did notice that there's the Discord Webhook already built in, and I'll use that as a last ditch effort. It works, I did test it, but I'm trying to funnel everything through one "thing" to get a consistent layout across all things that can monitor. SMTP seems to be the "closest to the metal" thing, and want to try and divert everything through that.

There is no editable template; the email format is compiled into the binary, so there is no file in the container to change. Webhook targets do support a custom payload template per target, which is the intended lever for reformatting if you can take the notification over HTTP instead of SMTP. v6 keeps the same model.

I appreciate the straight up answer, sincerely. I'll then just stick with the Discord notifications built in. They work, they're small enough to not be an eye sore, but it'd still be nice to have a method to edit the formats of the email, maybe to maintain company headers, or styles, or indicate what is important to the sysadmin.

Still, this is good enough for the CE and home labbers. Thanks for the software.
