AutoText
With AutoText you can compose an email from pre-configured text snippets. This is convenient when you often write the same emails. For example to send reports or provide customer support.
Dynamic Placeholders
Dynamic Placeholders are introduced in version 3.2.0.
When inserting the AutoText in your email, the placeholders will be automatically replaced with dynamic context from the email.
You can use the following placeholders in your AutoText snippets:
| Placeholder | Replacement |
|---|---|
${ToFullName} |
When the To: field contains 1 recipient, the entire text before the email address is used. This is assumed to be the full name of the recipient. |
${ToFirstName} |
When the To: field contains 1 recipient, the first word of the text before the email address is used. This is assumed to be the first name of the recipient. |
${ToLastName} |
When the To: field contains 1 recipient, everything except the first word of the text before the email address is used. This is assumed to be the last name of the recipient. |
Of course a warning will be shown if the To: field contains less than or more than 1 email address.
Examples
