Answer
You can customize the text content (title, subject, greeting, button text, etc.) of default ZITADEL emails for actions like reset password and initialize user through the notification text/message text APIs (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) . However, to fully customize the HTML layout, styling, or overall template beyond just the text, you need to implement your own HTTP provider to handle and format the emails yourself (6) .
