You have used a placeholder in your e-mail template text and see that it is not replacing with the desired value

SAP Cloud for Customer

Prerequisite: You have created and maintained a template XYZ (XYZ is the name of the template) with text and placeholder #ContactName# (as an example)

Our example looks at Leads, but the same is true for other views, such as Ticket, Individual Customer, Contact, Account.

1. Go to Leads workcenter
2. Go to Activities view
3. Navigate to the section Emails
4. Select New
5. Enter the recipient (Employee, Customer, Contact) in To
6. From the e-mail editor, select the templates icon and choose the template XYZ
7. Select Send

You expect that in the mail sent, the placeholder #ContactName# is replaced with the name of the recipient.

You have not mapped the placeholder value to its corresponding desired field and template can only be used when an e-mail is created from the chosen business object.

1. Go to Sales Workcenter
2. Go to Templates view
3. Select Show all and find for XYZ
4. Open the template XYZ
5. In the overview section, as shown below click on Add
6. Maintain the value of placeholder name and map it to the fields exposed by lead which will replace the placeholder.
