====== How to do "mail-merge" ======

To perform “mail-merge” of your outgoing e-mails do the following:

  - Define a notification representing the e-mail – see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:2300_emails:0200_outgoing_email|Sending Outgoing E-mail]]” section, [[docs:3400_how_to:0700_emails:0930_email_config]]
  - Provide the initial values to the Message and Subject attributes of the e-mail notification to include the body and subject of your e-mail respectively (see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:0700_add_edit_attributes:0100_common_props|Common Properties]]” section). Use tags inside the initialization text for those parts of the body and/or subject that will be “mail merged”. //**Aware IM**// will replace the tags with the appropriate values when the e-mail is sent. Below is an example of the initialization text for the Message attribute:

<code aim>Dear <<Policy.Holder.Name>>,

Your policy is about to expire on <<Policy.ExpiryDate>></code>
