2793226 - Incorrect Email Notification is Getting Triggered - EC

• Default email notification gets triggered although we have configured a custom email notification.
• Why is the default email notification template being sent to users even when a custom email notification has been setup?
• A custom Document Generation Template email was created to be sent to users but the system defaults to a standard email template.

The user's locale and language settings do not match the template.

• When the email is being generated, the user's language and locale are used to create the information contained within the email.
• If there is no language template for the user's locale, the default template will be sent in the email instead.
• To resolve this issue either create a template with a locale that matches the user's current settings or change the user's locale to match the language field of the email notification template.
