This question came via Email from JoAnne:
How do you run a character function action when setting up templates? We would like to be able to send one email to multilpe contacts after each tradeshow but can't figure out how to merge the information. Thank you!
JoAnne,
To use merge fields in a email template, you can find that information by going to Home > Email templates. There's a link called "What are "merge" fields, and how do I use them?". If you click that it will outline what needs to be done to use merge fields in the template. Specifically, you'll need to know the table name and field name of the information you'll want to use.
The next step is to use the "Replace <<merge>> fields" command. This is found in the Character Function action. You'll need to use this command before the send email action to replace the merge field with a value from the table. Further information on "Replace <<merge>> fields" command can be found on our Help Centre: Replace <<merge>> fields
This is an example screen shot as to how you can set that command up:
Hope this helps.
