Correspondence rules

Create correspondence rules to define, in HTML, templates for the content of outgoing correspondence. Each correspondence rule contains standard text for one type of correspondence, such as email, letter, or fax. JavaServer Pages (JSP) tags or directives allow correspondence to incorporate property values and calculations.

The following tabs are available on this form:

• Corr
• Prompts
• Security

Informally, correspondence rules are sometimes called templates, as they define form letters for property values.

To send correspondence as email messages, your system must contain an Email Account data instance and connect to a mail server.

Correspondence rules that use JSP tags can incorporate paragraph rules ( Rule-HTML-Paragraph rule type), which provide rich-text editing on the rule form.

Where referenced

Rules of three other rule types can reference correspondence rules:

• Flows, using Notify tasks
• Flow actions, indirectly through activities identified on the Action tab
• Activities
