Configure Password Recovery Email

A how-to guide to configuring the automated email sent by Bullseye when a user clicks the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page.

Required: Any paid subscription.

Note: Your custom password recovery email will be sent only if the user requests it from the Bullseye subdomain that is specified for your account. I.e., if the user goes to https://yourdomain.bullseyelocations.com to request the password, they will get the custom email; if they go to the generic https://app.bullseyelocations.com, they will receive the default Bullseye email.

1. Modify Default Theme

If you haven't already done so, modify the default theme to give your email the look and feel you want, and to apply your branding. For instructions, see Customize Email Themes.

2. Edit Template Settings

  • Click Settings > Notifications.
  • Click the Edit link next to the Password Recovery template

  • On the Settings tab, configure the available fields. 

Name The name of the email
Theme  The design theme to be applied to this template.
From Address The address that the recipient will see as the "from" address; e.g., [email protected].

Note: If your from address includes your own email domain, you will need to create DNS records that allow Bullseye to send email on your behalf. Please contact Bullseye Locations for assistance.
From Name The name that the recipient will see as the "from" name, associated with the From Address; e.g., "Yourcompany Customer Support."
Subject The subject line of the email; e.g., "Your Bullseye Password."
  • Click Save to save your settings.
