Banded emails do.
The Banded Email Action Template is a simple call-to-action email with a message, header
and a button linking to a website, such as an informational or landing page.
The Banded Email Invoice Template is an invoice with an optional Welcome message and
Pay Now button.
Settings
For a Blank email you can not specify any settings in the Wizard.
For an Action or Invoice email, the Email Template Wizard lets you choose:
l The subject. You can change and personalize the subject later, see "Email header
settings" on page428.
l The text for the header. The header is the colored part at the top. The text can be edited
later.
l The color of the header and the color of the button. Click the small colored square, right
next to the field that holds the default color value, to open the Color dialog and pick a
color (see "Color Picker" on page742). The color can be changed later; see "Colors" on
page647.
l The web address where the recipient of the email will be taken after clicking the button in
the email. Type the URL in the Link field.
In addition, for an Invoice email you can change the following content settings:
l
Show Welcome Message. Check this option to insert a salutation and one paragraph
with dummy text in the email.
l
Detail Table Name. Type the name of a detail table to fill the lines of the invoice with
data. In the Designer, a detail table is a field in the Data Model that contains a variable
number of items (usually transactional data).
Email context
In the Designer the Email context is the folder that contains Email templates. From the Email
context, output can be generated in the form of email (see below).
