To send reports by email learn how to set a template for your email?
In order to organize the email, Kizeo gives you the possibility to create sending template. That is to say, for example:
A shipment to notify your manager that you have made a new sale.
An email for your customer with his or her purchase order form (with a custom-made Word).
An email with an attachment, the summary of the sale for yourself (with a custom-made Word).
A scenario in case of modification of the purchase order form to inform your client that his request has been taken into account …
These templates can be based on Customizable user fields, depending on the selection of an item in a list, a checkbox, the amount of an order, … you decide!
To create a new template, go to Forms –>My Forms tab.
Select your form.
Go to the Options -> Email tab of your form.
Click on « Add ».
Step 1. Write the content of your email
Customize the subject and message of your emails.
You can edit the subject and a fixed message by writing your text in the Subject and Message areas of the e-mail.
You can also insert links, html code, table … you decide the layout of your email.
And you have the possibility of configuring (and therefore customizing) this information with dynamic tags, see Tag Help. Pre-enter your tags (starting with ##) and we will complete them directly for you!
Insert tags in the place desired. In our example, we wish the surname and first name of the contact to be replaced by the information provided in the field. The same is done for the date and the subtotal.
Note: Remember to save your form to get your newly added tags!
Note: You can insert your photos, drawing, or an audio file directly into the message of the e-mail by inserting the tags for your photo fields!
Tip : To add a border to your table, simply click on View Code and insert this line: <td style = “border: 1px solid black;”>
Step 2. Configure the recipient(s) of the email
Set up the recipients parameters
Go to the Recipients tab
In the text area, you can :
Insert the address or addresses of one or more contacts. You can also insert the tag or tagsor one or more fields. So the address contained in this field after the entry will also be used to send an e-mail. Help on tags.
Send the form to the ‘User that completed the form’, for which you have to check the option. The e-mail address taken into account is that which you have saved in the user form (in the Configuration menu, Users tab).
Check the box “Send even if it is a hidden field” so that the email will be sent even if the field is invisible.
Note: You can mix fixed e-mail addresses and tags.
Remember:
List of recipients: the classic list of recipients
CC or carbon copy: those who are to receive a copy of a message addressed primarily to another
blind carbon copy to tertiary recipients who receive the message. The primary and secondary recipients cannot see the tertiary recipients.
BCC: blind carbon copy to tertiary recipients who receive the message. The primary and secondary recipients cannot see the tertiary recipients.
Add a recipient from an input field or contact list
If you want several e-mails to be entered in the same element, you must choose the Input Field element. This field will be of text type and the e-mail addresses will have to be separated by commas. For example, this is a piece of information that you can report to the user using the help text which will be found in the properties in the display.
You can define a list of contacts for sending e-mails. This list will be, for example, the list of your colleagues. This list is to be created in a List or External List component. It must be defined as in the following example: ‘Name of contact <contactemailaddress>’ On the mobile, the user will see the names and e-mail addresses.
If you do not want the e-mails to be visible on the mobile, you must enter a code:label list. For example: “torrence@kizeo.com:Jack Torrence”. In this case, the e-mail will be sent from “torrence@kizeo.com” and the user will see only Jack Torrence on the mobile.
