Salesforce Admin: How to create custom welcome and password reset emails for communities Pt.1

This is the first video in a two part series on how to create custom welcome emails and password reset emails in your Salesforce Communities. In this video we go over how to setup our community for the custom emails, how to setup a custom visualforce email template with the proper merge variables and how to actually test that our password reset links work as we expect them to (this part is tricky!).
