Introduction
HTML templates allow you to merge simple to complex data from Salesforce into emails. They are built with the S-Docs Template Editor in Salesforce.
Main Advantages
HTML templates allow you to create personalized, well-designed emails with data merged from anywhere in Salesforce. You can include anything from basic merge fields to complex related list queries and conditional logic. They can be used on their own, to email other documents generated with S-Docs, and can even be bulk-sent to many records at once using Mass Merge.
HTML templates can also dynamically preset email fields like subject, recipients, and sender to expedite the end user's experience.
You can additionally edit the HTML/CSS source to create branded emails designed however you prefer.
