Okay, so here’s the truth…

If you want to create ✨ gorgeous ✨ email notifications in Workday, you’re gonna need to use Workday’s Notification Designer. There! I said it 😳

Yep—you can forget about Email Templates if you want a truly sleek notification.

HOWEVER…

Only 22 notification types are currently compatible with Workday’s Notification Designer (ideally, more will be delivered in future Workday releases!):

In the meantime, if your notification of interest isn’t on this list (alerts, for instance), use Email Templates to create a decent-looking notification that includes logos and images.

(ICYMI, that’s why we sent out a step-by-step setup guide for Email Templates last week—they’re still valuable and crucial to know!)

Today, we’re rounding out our email aesthetics series with a deep dive into Workday’s fun and intuitive Notification Designer. Let’s get to it! 👏

This is where the good stuff lives.

Thank you for this information. Is it possible to add a line return without the spacing between lines? I tried the normal Shift+Enter instead of Enter, which I use in other online rich text editors, and it didn't work with Workday Notification Templates. I also didn't see a way to edit the HTML of the message with an HTML editor.

Ideally, we'd like to be able to do this formatting:
