Email placeholders
Placeholders are like mail merge fields that define where you want a value that will be defined later. You will want to use placeholders for signer names for example.
You can use these placeholders in any email-related text field. Tick "Use everytime" if you'd like to set a message as default. In particular, review how to make ready-made personal messages.
Use the following placeholders in emails to signers. They will be replaced with the correct value when the email is sent out.
- {{group_name}} - the public name of the group you are sending from
- {{doc_name}} - the name you give the sent document
- {{sender_fullname}}
- {{sender_firstname}}
- {{sender_lastname}}
- {{sender_email}}
- {{signer_fullname}}
- {{signer_firstname}}
- {{signer_lastname}}
- {{signer_email}}
Go to Admin > Saved emails to set one up and watch this video on using email placeholders:
You can also use your own SMTP, although we recommend using the standard Legalesign one for fast and reliability throughout.
