Select a template to edit

Keep placeholders like {{ .ConfirmationURL }}. If removed, the email will not work as expected.

Troubleshooting

​
1. Email still shows old content

What you’ll see:
You updated the template, but the email still shows the old message.
How to fix it:
  • Make sure you clicked Save in Supabase.
  • Clear your email client’s cache (especially in webmail).
  • Trigger a new signup or password reset. Old links won’t refresh.
What you’ll see:
The email arrives, but the link is missing or unclickable.
How to fix it:
  • Confirm you kept the placeholder variable like {{ .ConfirmationURL }} in the template.
  • Double-check the Site URL in Supabase. It must match your Rocket app’s live domain.

Branded emails that work

Your Rocket app now sends custom, branded emails through Supabase that look right and function reliably.
