Technical help with email templates
How to use interchangeable blocks of text within email templates
Within the BDP rule builder, it is possible to have interchangeable blocks of text which appear under different conditions. This may be useful if, for example, you want to email the seller of a property to inform them that EITHER a formal OR an informal note of interest (NOI) has been placed on their property. […]

An introduction to email templates
BDP email templates contain “placeholders” where you want the application to insert information for you. Such information can include names, date & time, addresses, contact information, etc. BDP has it’s own syntax for inserting this information which is usually in the format of section.specific_field, ALWAYS wrapped in double curly brackets {{ }}. BDP also allows […]
Email date placeholder formats
BDP uses the standard PHP Date function to create dates, which enables you to format the date in the way that you choose. For example, an email template contains the following date placeholder: {{ bdDate (action.actionDate,”l, jS F Y”) 1 }} at {{ bdDate (action.actionDate,”H:i”) 1 }} This will display, for example, “Sunday, 5th August […]
Email templates – Examples

‘Property Match’ email template placeholders

You can include event information in an email template as follows:
|

{{ bdDate (action.actionDate,"d M Y") 1 }} {{ bdDate (action.actionDate,"H:i") 1 }} |
