Email notifications in a site help users and administrators keep track of the site's activities and urges them to take action. WordPress provides a set of built-in email templates for major actions. More often than not, we will need to customize the content of these default email templates based on the type of the site and its requirements. As of version 5.3.2, WordPress doesn't offer features for customizing email content from the dashboard. Using the built-in filter hooks is the only way to customize the content. So, non-technical users may face difficulties when changing these emails.
In this recipe, we are going to use the Better Notifications for WordPress plugin to customize the default emails. We will learn how this plugin can be used to introduce and customize emails for actions not provided by WordPress.
