How to Customize the Re-engagement Reminder Email?
The Re-engagement Reminder is the email sent to customers who started signing up but never finished email verification. Its subject, heading, body, CTA button, and footer are all editable through the Email Customizer — the same place you customize the verification email and other CEV emails.
Before customizing, make sure the feature is enabled at Settings → Unverified Users → Maintenance → Send re-engagement reminder emails.
How to Open the Re-engagement Email in the Customizer?
- Go to Settings → Unverified Users → Maintenance.
- Inside the Re-engagement reminder emails card, click Customize email → at the top.
- The Email Customizer opens with the Re-engagement Reminder template pre-loaded in the preview pane.
Alternatively:
- Go to Customize tab in the plugin admin.
- Open the Email Content panel.
- Change the Email Type dropdown to Re-engagement Reminder.
Available merge tags for Re-engagement email:
- {site_title} — your store name
- {cev_display_name} — the customer’s display name (or empty for guest entries)
- {cev_user_email} — the recipient’s email address
- {registration_page_url} — direct link to the My Account / sign-up page
Always run a Send test after editing — some email clients render HTML differently, and seeing the email in your real inbox is the only way to confirm spacing, fonts, and the CTA button look right.
