Merge fields for email templates

You can use merge fields in your email templates to populate your emails with dynamic data from Intacct. Merge fields take account and transaction information from Intacct and add it directly to your email when the email is sent.

For example, you can pull in the transaction total and document ID of an invoice, or you can add the Bill-to contact from a contract. Merge fields offer the flexibility to create and customize professional email templates that are easy to edit and update for your sales documents and contract renewals.

To use email templates in Accounts Receivable, Contracts, Order Entry, Purchasing, or Construction requires a subscription to that application. Set email template permissions in the Company application.

From the Email templates list, you can add a new email template, or edit, view, or delete an existing email template.
