Email Templates
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
We all know writing good emails is vital to get a high response rate, but you do not want to
|
||||
rewrite the same structure every time, do you? That is where email templates come in.
|
||||
Without the need to rewrite the entire email structure every time, you save time to focus on
|
||||
the content. Multiple templates also let you deliver the right message to the right audience,
|
||||
improving their overall experience with the company.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable it and understand a few concepts
|
||||
=======================================
|
||||
|
||||
The :doc:`Developer mode <../../general/developer_mode/activate>` must be activated. Then, go to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Templates`. A view of the existing templates is shown.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
**It is highly recommended not to change the content in existing templates unless the user has
|
||||
prior knowledge about placeholders.**
|
||||
|
||||
To add a new one, click on *Create* and choose the type of document this template is used with. In
|
||||
the example below, the template would be sent to job applicants.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
| Under *Email Configuration*, fields such as *From*, *To (Emails)*, *To (Partners)*, require
|
||||
placeholders. If the *From* field is not set, the default value is the author’s email alias, if
|
||||
configured, or email address.
|
||||
| Under *Advanced Settings*, if an *Outgoing Mail Server* is not set, the one with the highest
|
||||
priority is used.
|
||||
| The option *Auto Delete* permanently deletes the emails after they are sent, saving space in your
|
||||
database.
|
||||
|
||||
Writing content including placeholder expressions
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Under the tab *Dynamic Placeholder Generator*, look for the *Field* you would like to use.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Next, copy the *Placeholder Expression* and paste it in the *Body* of the email, under the *Content*
|
||||
tab, using - essentially - the *Code View*.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Deactivate the *Code View* option by simply clicking on it again, and easily design the message.
|
||||
Click on *Preview* to check how the email looks before sending it.
