Completed Registration Email Macros

Please place macros in the following format: <MACRO_NAME>

These macros can be used to generate information you might need to have in the completed registration email that gets sent when a student has been fully registered in Genesis.

District Fields

Field	Sample Output	Comment
DISTRICT_NAME	Genesis Board of Education
PARENT_ADMIN_EMAIL	[email protected]	This is the email address of the Parent Access Administrator. This is also the email address that any email from Parent Access to the parents comes from.
DISTRICT_EMAIL	[email protected]	District Email Address
DISTRICT_PHONE		District Phone Number
DISTRICT_ADDRESS		District Address

School Fields (Student's Current School)

Field	Comment
SCHOOL_CODE	School Code
SCHOOL_NAME	School Name
SCHOOL_PHONE	School Phone Number
SCHOOL_EMAIL	School Email Address
SCHOOL_ADDRESS	School Address
SCHOOL_PRINCIPAL_NAME	School Principal Name
SCHOOL_PRINICIPAL_PHONE	School Principal Phone Number
SCHOOL_PRINCIPAL_EMAIL	School Principal Email

Student Fields

Field	Comment

STUDENT_LAST_NAME	Student Last Name

Staff Fields

EX: <STAFF_NAME_1234> will grab the staff's name who has ID of 1234.

Field	Comment

Staff Fields for different schools

Staff fields can conditionally be shown based on the student's school.

EX: <STAFF_NAME_1234_2002> will grab the staff's name who has ID of 1234 and will only show if the student goes to a school with school code 2002. If the student doesn't go to that school, <STAFF_NAME_1234_2002> will be removed from the text.

A good use for this is saying "<STAFF_NAME_1234_2002><STAFF_NAME_1234_2003><STAFF_NAME_1234_2004> is the staff member to contact if you have questions." This will only show the staff whose school code entered in the macro is the same as the student's school code.

Field	Comment
STAFF_NAME_	Staff Name
STAFF_PHONE_	Staff Phone Number
STAFF_EMAIL_	Staff Email Address
