The plugin seeds 20 HTML templates on install and lets you create, edit, duplicate, preview, filter, and delete your own. When a template is deleted, course settings and rules that referenced it reset to the default template fallback.

The Branding page controls the logo used by {{logo}}:
{info} Core site logos are preferred — they are normally reachable from email clients without a Moodle login session. Theme file URLs may display in Moodle but not in some external email clients.
Brand colors derive from the active theme where available, with Bootstrap palette fallbacks. If Modern Course Reminder manages branding, this plugin uses that source.
When enabled in Settings and Moodle's core AI subsystem has a text-generation provider, you can generate a draft subject and body from a plain-language brief. The plugin stores no provider keys — it only calls Moodle's AI action and asks for a JSON response. Generated content is shown for review before saving.
