Creating an Email Template
The Conga Templates admin user interface allows you to create email templates using plain text or HTML. You can also include merge fields, which represent an entity or its fields that can be dynamically populated when an email is sent.
A merge field is dynamic data that is evaluated when an email using the corresponding email template is sent to a recipient. Merge fields are specific to the context object defined in the email template and can be used as placeholders for the object itself, one of its fields, or lookup fields. Merge fields are added to the email template body using this format: {{Merge Field}}. For example, {{Assigned.To.Name}}. You can retrieve the list of fields for any object using the appropriate Email Template API (refer to the Conga Email APIs).
The email template is created, and you are redirected to the edit mode, where you can add and update the template details using the content editor. You can also use the DefaultForProducsts field to set a custom email template as the default for various runtime operations, such as Send for Review and Wet Signature. When you search for an option in the Default for Products field and it is not there, click the + Create button to create one.
While assigning a template as the default for specific actions, the application checks for duplicates and ensures only one default template is assigned per action. If a default email template already exists for an action, you will be asked for confirmation to override or retain it.
The email content editor lets you format rich text, adjust alignment, manage text color, font, size, and spacing.
- To add merge fields to the email body, use the JSON Data, Master Objects, and Custom Objects options.
- To insert a picture into the HTML email content body, click the Insert image icon and use the Upload from computer or Insert via URL option. Click the image and use the required option to adjust the image size and alignment.
