  • In section 2 (on left), use the expandable categories to find the required merge codes, then drag and drop the code onto the blank word document

(as shown above)title

  • Copy the code and paste into the required location on the HTML template

Note

Delimiters (i.e. %) must be entered in the HTML template at the beginning and end of every code taken from the Letter Template Editor, otherwise they will not be recognised

For example:

Incorrect: Image Modified

Correct:    Image Modified

If using Notepad++ as your source code editor, they are highlighted as shown above

More information

-

  • Merge codes in emails use the delimiters <% and %> (similar to ASP)
    They will vary depending on where the email is being sent from in Reapit

Agency Cloud


  • For example, data specific to applicants or properties sent in match emails should start with either Applicant. or Property.
    Appointment specific data sent in appointment confirmation emails should start with Entry

-

  • Merge codes can be used to print text
    For example, the property address as a main heading
    Code: <h1><%Property.Address.FullAddress%></h1>
    Result: 1 Long Street, Anytown, AB1 1YZ

-

  • Merge codes can be used as attribute values in HTML tags
    For example, the property URL
    Code: <a href='<%Property.URL%>'>View Online</a>
    Result: View Online

Where a merge code is used as an HTML attribute value, it should be surrounded by single quotes to allowing easy previewing in a browser while you edit the template

4. Uploading & deploying edited email templates (existing templates)

  • When complete, edited files should be uploaded and should overwrite the existing version
    This avoids duplication and impact on storage

  • Backups are created for every upload made (by you/Reapit) - therefore, if issues arise due to the upload of edited templates, they can be rolled back

Tip

While you are able to access the backed up HTML files, retrieving them should involve attention from Reapit to ensure the correct filename is used (as they are amended when backed up) and the correct retrieval method is used

Adding a new email template

1. Open Deployment Explorer window

  • Follow step 1 in the previous section

  • The Deployment Explorer window (shown in step 2 in the previous section) will be displayed

2. Create new template

  • See step 3 of the previous section for information on using the Letter Template Editor for required merge codes for your new template

Note

Delimiters (i.e. %) must be entered in the HTML template at the beginning and end of every code taken from the Letter Template Editor, otherwise they will not be recognised

For example:

Sale & Let: pMatch

Sale: pSaleMatch

Let: pLetMatch

Property > Match > Email

OR

Right-click Match button > Hand Match

Add Personalised to the end of the file name to send an individual email to each applicant

pSaleMatchPersonalised.htm

Using a personalised template sends an individual email to each applicant (rather than one with all applicants in the BCC field)

This allows applicant specific data to be merged, such as their salutation

Let: prpLet

Applicant > Match > Reports > Email

OR
