How to customize cPanel notification templates

Introduction

cPanel can send notifications to users to alert them of a number of different condition changes on the server. These templates can be customized to better match your needs. 

Procedure

1. Access the server using SSH as the root user.
2. Create the template directory for holding your customizations

   mkdir /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates

3. Copy the include and wrapper files from the default templates into the custom directory:

   cp -rpl /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/{include,wrapper} /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates

4. Copy the default template for what you want to customize. For this example, we will use the "New Account" notification subject template:

   cp -rpl /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/wwwacct/Notify.subject.tmpl /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/wwwacct/Notify.subject.tmpl

5. With your preferred text editor, edit and save the copied file.
6. Rebuild the templates to apply the changes:

   /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild-templates
