Additional information
If you want to include documents via the Electronic Table link, eMarketing Storage, or Filing Cabinet, this option is provided once you are inside the email template. Once you have ticked the (tick) to include attachments/links tick box, this will add the selected document as a link directly to your email.
We provide the option to set the access settings for the email template you are creating. These visibility settings can include everyone in the office, a team or an individual.
When drafting your email, you can change the font type, size, and colour, insert merge fields, and add images and hyperlinks.
If you want to insert an image into your template, you must ensure that the image is cloud-hosted (Hyperlink). You can create hyperlinks for your images from within your VaultRE account by:
- Go to: eMarketing > eMarketing Storage
- Click on Add/Upload File in the bottom right-hand corner
Once added, this will then generate a hyperlink for the image as shown below:
You can add this image to the template by copying the hyperlink, as shown above, and pasting it into the Source section of the Insert/edit image button in the email template.
Your existing email templates will be shown within the relevant template tab (Standard Templates or Enhanced (Property) Templates). You can edit these templates at any point by clicking the Edit button.
