Use templates
An FortiToken Cloud (FTC) template refers to the message template that FTC uses to send OTP and token activation or transfer notifications to its end-users. FTC can notify its end-users of such activities either by email or SMS, depending on your configuration. It not only offers a number of default templates that you can use out of the box, but also enables you to create your own templates on the fly.
Column | Description |

Default | Indicates whether the template is a default one or not. |
