"Order Confirmation" E-Mail Message

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,530

Hi:

By default, the e-mail message that is sent to customers along with the Sales Order Confirmation PDF begins with "Dear company name" instead of "Dear Mary" or whatever the first name of the contact is.

How can this message be modified to pull the first name, instead of the company name?

Thanks!

John

    You can customize through word layout what will be the text in the e-mail, Then you can do that without coding.

    Hi, I checked the standard code.

    GreetingText = Hello

    CustomerAddress1 = Customer Name

    But there is no first name in the standard DataItem, you need to use Report Extension to add it first, and then update the Layout file.

    And more details about Word Template

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
