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

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
