Notes on Email Templates

Your template will contain a mixture of:

  • Rich HTML Formatted Text: Content that remains the same in every email.
  • Placeholders for Wisenet Fields: Dynamic fields such as learner name, course name. Placeholders are enclosed in hash symbols (e.g., #Client.FirstName#).

Important Notes:

  • Fixed text will remain unchanged, while placeholders are replaced with corresponding values from Wisenet records.
  • Be cautious of unwanted HTML tags and formatting when copying text from external sources. Refer to the Email Messaging FAQ for guidance.
  • Always test your email template before using it.

Is Active Toggle

When you set an email template to inactive, Learncycles using this email template will still send. To stop Learncycles from sending the email, edit the Learncycles directly.

Placeholders

Placeholders can be added to both the Subject line and Body. Copy a placeholder from the email body and add it to the subject line.

Only placeholders available in the dropdown list can be used. Custom placeholders are not supported.

Media Files

Media files must be uploaded to Public Files in Settings before using in email templates.

Email length

Email messages are limited to 10,000 characters.
