If you are new to the HTML document/canned email tag system, you can get an overview of tags, objects and loops here.
Accessing The Contact Object
Access to this object is dependent on what document or canned email type you are trying to access the object from. Start by finding the document or canned email type you are working with from the links provided below. Follow the chart for your specified document or canned email type to see if the object is accessible, and if so, where it is located. You may need to use a combination of loops and/or chaining to access this object.
Accessing The Contact Tags
Assuming you have access to the Contact object, you must do one of the following:
1. Prefix the object's name to the required tag
2. If the tag is a list type, then the tag must be looped. The sub-object tags should be nested within the loop.
Here is a chart displaying these use cases.
| Syntax | Example | |
1 | {{Contact.TagName}} | {{Contact.Name}} |
2 | <!-- {{#each Contact.TagName}} --> {{SubObjectTagName}} <br /> <!-- {{/each}} --> | <!-- {{#each Contact.Approvers}} --> {{Name}} <br /> <!-- {{/each}} --> |
