The Notification Templates module in your CRM platform serves as a comprehensive hub for all outbound communications. Here's a refined explanation of its features and functionality:
This module is specifically designed for creating and managing various types of outgoing messages, including tasks, reminders, notifications, and documents. It supports two primary channels of communication: SMS and email.
While both SMS and email are effective for sending notifications, email communication has the added advantage of supporting the dispatch of generated documents. This is particularly valuable for distributing invoices and other documents electronically, negating the need for physical copies.
Accessing the module in the administration section leads you to a table of existing templates. To create a new template, you use the 'Add Notification Template' button, which opens the notification template builder.
The builder is divided into two main sections. The left section is reserved for composing the notification's body, while the right section contains general settings for the notification.
When crafting the notification text, you have complete creative freedom. The content is only limited by your needs and imagination.
A standout feature is the inclusion of dynamic fields in the notification body. These fields allow the template to automatically insert specific data from the CRM system, making each message relevant and personalized.
The logic and syntax used for dynamic fields in this module are consistent with those in the Document Template module. For users unfamiliar with this, instructional videos on Document Templates are available for guidance.
In this area, you name the template, select the sending type (email or SMS), and assign a name to the notification, which will be visible to the recipients.
This feature serves two purposes. Firstly, it specifies where the templates will be applied within the CRM system. Secondly, it enables the incorporation of dynamic fields that pull data from specified modules and relations.
Users can attach files by clicking the plus button, with options to include URLs, items from the media library, or document templates.
Once the template is finalized, saving it makes it immediately available for use in the designated module. This streamlined process not only makes it easier to manage communications but also ensures that the messages are tailored and relevant, improving the overall efficiency of your CRM-related tasks.
