Hi,

I am want to replace Alfresco in OOTB email templates with my custom name let say ABC.

As I might need to do for many clients, replacing Alfresco from all the email templates every time for each client doesn't seems feasible, hence I want to replace it with an object that can be used as placeholder for the clients name similar to shareUrl object in the email templates

E.g.

in following-email.html.ftl we have a line Sincerely Alfresco I want replace it with Sincerely ${myObject} this myObject will contain the name of the client ABC.

myObject value will be defined in alfresco-global.propsand the templates will be bootstrapped using ImportComponentModule.

Thanks

This is sample script code to send email.

var mail = actions.create("mail");
 mail.parameters.to_many = "user_email";
 mail.parameters.subject = "Notification review";
 mail.parameters.template = companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/EMail Templates/Email_Templates.ftl");
 
 var templateArgs = new Array();
 
 templateArgs['name'] = person.properties.firstName+" "+person.properties.lastName;
 
 var templateModel = new Array();
 templateModel['args'] = templateArgs;
 mail.parameters.template_model = templateModel;
 mail.executeAsynchronously(person);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And this is email template file place this file under the path Data Dictionary/EMail Templates/Email_Templates.ftl

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
  <body bgcolor="white">
    <div>
     <p>Hi <b>${args.name},</b></p>
    </div>
 </body>
</html>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/EMail Templates/Email_Templates.ftl");

This path defines the location of your email template.

We need to pass templateArgs array values to template_model.

Thanks,
Kalpesh
