Email Template Placeholders

The email template option in BoardEffect allows you to add or edit a custom email message. However, you cannot modify the placeholders in the templates. Placeholders are unique to each email template, and you cannot delete or copy and paste them in a different template. This topic describes each type of placeholder, including the template name in which it is saved.

  1. On the BoardEffect home page, on the left-side Navigation Bar, select Site Settings .

  2. Select Email Templates from the list of settings options. The Application Emails dialog opens.

  3. Select the relevant tab to access the available email templates in that category.

  4. To open the email template details page, select the relevant template name.

  5. You can view the placeholders in the Email Body field of each email template.

Caution

Do not delete placeholders like %{book_title}. Should you delete placeholders, issues might occur with the dynamic content in the Email Body field when you send the email. To refresh, select Restore to default.
