Template Manager Help {{variables}}

[Brad]

Hi there
Hope all is well

Can someone point me in the right direction here, please.

Looking at the Meeting template - I want to include a message to the attendee Contact, how do I find out the correct variables to us or what variables are available for this template?

Many thanks
Brad

Hi,
just verify for "message", i think it's in meeting ? not sure but something so : {{./message}} if message is a field in meeting.
you can have doc on github with many sample

<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 100%;font-size: 12px;">
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td style="width:30%;;background-color: rgb(198, 177, 28); color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;Name</td>
        <td style="width:70%;;background-color: rgb(198, 177, 28); color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;Message</td>
    </tr>
<!-- {{#each contacts}} -->
    <tr>
        <td style="width: 30%;';background-color: #F5F2D9;">&nbsp;{{name}}</td>
        <td style="width: 70%;';background-color: #F5F2D9;">&nbsp;{{./message}}</td>
    </tr>
<!-- {{/each}} -->
</tbody>
</table>​

Thank you, I am looking at adding this into the template
#Admin/templateManager/name=invitation_Meeting

I can add a custom field and that shows but I want to customise my email regarding a meeting or a call saying Dear ... Contact First Name

certainly other forumeur can help.

Hi Brad,

They (placeholders) are the same as in PDF Templates. You can copy paste them.

Hi Yuri
Ah thank you - that was what I was looking for - BUT ... there is only one variable {{contactsNames}} - unfortunately the delivers [object Object] in the email - There are many placeholders containing User - before I settle in and try them all may I check if contacts are ever referred to as User ?

hey Brad

It is the same engine used for all. because contacts is a collection you will need to loop through it and get name as below

{{#each contacts}} Contact name: {{name}} {{/each}}

Hey rabii - Thank you very much .. bang on! works expected.
