1610 E-mail a custom form to multiple borrowers

Calyx Point introduces the ability to e-mail a custom form to multiple borrowers in an e-mail. More than six sample forms are available as sample documents that can be edited to meet your company's requirements.

The following steps will be covered:

• Creating the custom letter
• Create the report template
• Generating the marketing template

Creating the custom letter

If you are creating a new custom letter to send in a mass e-mail, See article 2507 Creating and editing custom forms.

Use an existing custom letter to send a mass e-mail

You will need to create a report template that will generate the custom form letter for multiple borrowers. It is recommended that you print a blank custom form template first so you can add each Field ID from the custom form into the report template.

1. Open Point.
2. From the Navigation Panel, select Custom Forms/Letters/E-mail.
3. Double-click the custom form letter that you will use for the mass e-mail.
   
    
   
4. From the Microsoft Word Menu bar, click File > Print.
5. From the Point Custom Forms window, click Close.
   
    

Create the report template (You will need the form that you printed above.)

1. From the Navigation Panel, select Templates.
2. Click Report & Marketing.
3. Click New.
4. In the Report Title: field, enter a name for the template.
5. (Optional) In the Description:field, enter a description of the template.
   
   Note: You must include the e-mail address of either the borrower or co-borrower in the report template for the letter to be sent to the e-mail address.
   • For Borrower: Enter a field name of Borrower Email and a Field ID of 112.
6. In the Field Name column, select the same fields which printed on the custom letter you printed earlier.
    

For Example: The printout contains fields, such as, <<Borrower First Name>> and <<Borrower Last Name>>. Select the same fields from the Field Name dropdown list in the report template.

Some fields may contain a number, such as,<<PNT_150>>. In this case, manually enter a Field Name as the title for the field and then enter the appropriate Field ID number in the Field ID column. For Example: For<<PNT_150>>, you would enter a Field Name and a Field ID of 150.
