Message Syntax

Messages can be compiled within EBMS to communicate to software users or to communicate to customers, vendors, or other accounts. The message text may include HTML code, EBMS placeholders, and other script functions to include dynamic information along with static text.

Message Tools

Communicating messages can be automated by using the following tools:

  1. Review Custom Messages to send comments to the EBMS user, warn the user, or to block the user from continuing based on dynamic information.

  2. Review [Sales] CRM > Auto Send > Overview to send various messages to specific accounts or to a group of accounts based on category.

Message Examples

Copy the script programming text from the following examples to custom messages within EBMS.
