Send Email to Allow Property/Placeholder Fields from SR/Incidents

in Service Manager Portal Feature Requests

I initially logged this as a fault as I assumed it would work, but I've been advised it is not possible.

Basically I would like to be able to include Properties from the Service Request/Incident in the Send Email feature.

When an email template is used on a automatic notification from Service Manager, you can include placeholders for properties, such as display name, call id, description contents etc. etc.

You can include these in the Cireson "Send Email" templates, however they do not work.

    Is there any workaround for now. As you send email notification from support.cireson.com with "Incident summary".

    Upvote.

    Who builds a template system with no variables values permitted? Customers need specific data from their work items to appear within each response to be valuable.

    How come this is not a thing in 2020??

    We haven't been using templates from Send Mail functionality up until now and today when I went to create our first template I was completely baffled how this is not included in the functionality. The templates are just plain text without any support of variables which I can have stored anywhere in a word document and just ctrl c, ctrl v (like I do it now). So we won't even try using them , until this is implemented i guess.

    Why would I use the 'template field' over copying text from other sources when it has no support of variables? 😔

    Mr. Lences,

    Happy to see similar sentiments. How a template system could be designed today without the ability to supply variables is beyond me. Without variables it renders the templates value to customers as minimal.

    We have created a dozen standard templates for our support team which they refuse to use because of the extra work incurred due to the lack of variable automation. Frustrating.

    Has there been any movement on this? This would be useful functionality for my organization as well.

    Not correct, but it works.

    At CiresonPortal\Scripts\forms\tasks\sendEmail\controller.js around l. 990

    var strMessage = encodeURIComponent(_vmWindow.emailHTMLMessage)

    insert new line above, for example:

                    var strMessageWIDetail ="<p><br/></p><p>For detail you can visit <a href='https://servicedesk.yourportal.com/"+ vm.type +"/Edit/"+ vm.viewModel.Id +"/'>Service Desk Portal</a>.<table><tbody><tr> <td height='20' colspan='2' bgcolor='#70AD47'>"+ vm.type +"</td></tr><tr> <td width='20%' bgcolor='#F2F2F2'>ID #:</td> <td bgcolor='#F2F2F2'>" + vm.viewModel.Id + "</td></tr><tr> <td width='20%' bgcolor='#F2F2F2'>TITLE:</td> <td bgcolor='#F2F2F2'>" + vm.viewModel.Title + "</td></tr><tr> <td height='10' colspan='2'><pre>" + vm.viewModel.Description + "</pre></td></tr></tbody></table>";

    Be care that code must be in one line and standard quotes inside HTML changed to apostrophes.

    You can use the variables available in the viewmodel, format text inline..

    and change

    var strMessage = encodeURIComponent(_vmWindow.emailHTMLMessage);

    to: 

    var strMessage = encodeURIComponent(_vmWindow.emailHTMLMessage)+encodeURIComponent(strMessageWIDetail);

    This appends at the end of the HTML e-mail informations about workitem with link for edit.

    Works with/without using templates.

    Keep a backup, knowledge, the new version can replace your code.
