⚠️ Important:
When using the "Company Signature" macro in another language, the company signature must be stored under Your Account → Profile → Email Signature → Company Signature for the respective language.
When using the "Salutation" macro in a multilingual template, the salutation depends on the template’s language.
Placeholders for macros must always be selected from the macro list to be used correctly.
Macros can only be inserted directly into the text field of an email template.
To place a macro in the subject, it must first be inserted into the text field and then transferred to the subject.
📌 Using Macros in Email Templates
Macros can be directly inserted into email templates via the macro list. Once an email is sent, the system automatically replaces the macros with the corresponding data. Macros ensure that each email contains personalized content without requiring manual adjustments. If a macro cannot be filled, it will either be left blank or the macro name will be visible in the text.
