using mail in referral

[efrank]

In uCreate XM 4.5.2 you can use the e-mail tab to send a message as
soon as insert succeeds. It offers you both new and referring
variables for you to choose. How do you handle these variables in the
document of the mail. I tried inserting {{New:name}} and {{Ref:name}},
but it didn't work.

AFAIK, the only values you have at your disposal to put in the actual
email body are the ador values for that recipient.

So, if you referral page is inserting "name" ador into the database, a
text email can use {{name}} or a html email can use <%# /* Text ADOR
*/ AdorRec.FieldValue("name", Container) %>

If you need to put the name of the person who referred them into the
email, I normally add an extra field to the database, and to the plan
eg called "referredby", and have the referral page insert this value
into the db. Then instead of your {{Ref:name}} you can use
{{referredby}}
