Merge Fields in Document Templates: Overview
What you can do: Add Information into Document Template
A merge field is a field you can put in a template to incorporate values from a record. For example, you can place a merge field in an email template so that the greeting includes the recipient's name rather than a generic “Hello!”
When creating document templates, merge fields will bring over information that is unique for every meeting, like client name, date and time of the appointment, your email signature, notes, etc. They can be added into document blocks using a button on the toolbar.
You can also just type a slash ( / ) and the name of the merge field:
Topic Merge Fields are responsible for bringing the notes into the document. They are the same as the Topics you organize notes under. If you add a merge field for a topic, any note under a contact that is labelled under that topic (ex. Investments) will then appear in this document.
If the Topic Merge Fields is not in the template, the note under this Topic will not appear in the document.
You can change settings of a Topic Merge Field for different purposes by clicking on it:
- Select the display options for notes under this topic.
- Add subtopic for client-to-do items.
- Switch the toggle to show or hide topic title in the document.
Tips
- Topic Merge Fields link to the Topics of the notes.
- You can create a client-to-do item by changing Topic Merge Field's settings.
