2665839 - You Are Not Able To Use Document-Based E-mail Template When Processing A Ticket

Symptom

You are not able to use Document-Based E-mail Template when processing a ticket.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Service work center.
  2. Go to the Tickets view.
  3. Filter by Source: E-mail.
  4. Open ticket ABC (ABC represents ticket ID).
  5. Go to the Interactions facet.
  6. Click the Insert Template button.

Only Text-based Templates are shown while Document-based Templates are missing.

Cause

There are two types of templates available in the system:

  • Text-based.
  • Document-based.
  1. Only templates of type Text-based are supported in the Interactions facet of the ticket. Hence you only find the Text-based Templates listed.
  2. The Document-based (HTML) Templates are used for automatic triggering of e-mail notification based on workflow rules defined. However, Document-based Templates can be used as a branding template and linked to a channel. Whenever an e-mail is sent from this channel, the text is embedded in the e-mail. The use case for this typically is to embed company branding images/formatting to the e-mails that are sent out of the channel.

Resolution

To link a Document-based Template as a branding template to a channel, you can create a new template as a branding template with the HTML layout.

Once the template is created, follow the below steps to link it to the channel:

  1. Go to the Administrator work center.
  2. Go to the Service and Social view.
  3. Select relevant e-mail channel (or create a new one).
  4. Add the template to the e-mail channel that you would like to use it with.
