Email Templates
Email templates are used for creating standard emails that will be sent from eCase internally to other member of the team, for example when a case has been assigned to you, or externally when you require more information from the correspondent, like clarification of the request. The email templates can use mail merge fields.
You can:
- Add a new email template
- Modify an email template
- Archive an email template
- Activate an archived email template
- Choose a default email template
There are a number of email template categories that are available for you to use.
