Need help. Co authors receiving an empty email when submission is done. Please help.
Hi @rshazrin,
Was this an upgraded installation, or a fresh install?

Hello @asmecher,
Yes. It is a fresh installation. I also found that the notification emails are sent to the author in multiples (of the number of authors in the manuscript) on the decision.
Thanks.
Hi @rshazrin,
Try adding this change to your installation. Then, for existing journals, you’ll have to manually create the email template in the email listing in setup. That should correct the issue with blank emails.
For the message duplicates – is this the SUBMISSION_ACK
email? You can check by going into setup and looking at the body of that email to compare.

HI, I am not a programmer. And have the same problem. Can those empty emails just be turned off and simplier way then changing in the codes?
Hi @dalias,
For existing journals, you can go to the Prepared Emails interface in Setup and manually create a template with key SUBMISSION_ACK_NOT_USER
. Use the body text and subject from the link above (customizing them as you wish).
