Description

Template

Sage CRM templates usually contain standard content and field codes.

From

The email address from which your email is sent. By default, this is the address of the current user. If this field is set to None, the email is sent from the address of the current user. You can select an alternative From address only if you have permissions to send emails from other accounts. If you have these permissions, you can change the default email address in <My Profile> | Preferences | Default Email address.

Reply to

The email address to which replies to your email are sent. This field is available only if you have permissions to send emails from other accounts.

To

The recipients of your email. Use a semicolon as a separator.

CC

The recipients to whom you want to send a copy of your email. Use a semicolon as a separator.

BCC

The recipients to whom you want to sent a blank carbon copy of your email. Use a semicolon as a separator.

 

You can use the following methods to search for and add recipients to the To, CC, or BCC fields:

Method 1
Start typing the name or email address of a person or company in To, CC, or BCC to display a list of matching records. In the list, click the person or company record you want to add as a recipient.

Method 2
Look for the person record using the search box on the right-hand side of the screen. Then, select the person record in the list below the search box, and click the green left arrow next to the To, CC, or BCC field. You can add only one recipient at a time.

Subject

The subject line for the email.

Do not file this communication

When selected, the email is not filed in Sage CRM.
When not selected, your email is saved as a communication for the persons to whom it was sent.

Choose Field to insert into the Email

The merge fields that you can include in the email. For example, you can include the recipient’s first name or title in the email.

Source

Allows you to copy and paste HTML into the email body field. HTML source code typically references image files, such as JPGs, GIFs and BMPs. Ensure that images are referenced correctly so the person receiving the email can view them. You must specify the source of an image file as an Internet path in the HTML source code. For example, <img src = "http://www.domain.com/products/image.gif">. Use this only if you have experience writing HTML source code.
