You be able to include custom fields using {{%CF_Name}} in the body of your email. Only CFs on the current will be available to you.

Thank you! So... If I want the street address of the client whose card is referenced as cardname, I tried including the custom fields {{%Street}} {{%City, State Zip}} in the body of the email. The result was no reference to the address or custom fields. Are my custom field names the problem?

Thanks!

It has to be on the current card and the name after % must match exactly with the CF definition

Hi @Cyndi Osterhus ,

 

do you want to send the email directly from the card? What email client are you using?

 

Cheers

I want to create a rule. We use Outlook.

Below is the template of our client cards where we add the information in the custom fields. The rule created is 

when a due date is set on a card, send an email notification to "cyndi@rowanpools.com;debbie@rowanpools.com" with subject "Installation Scheduled" and message "Installation for {cardname} has been scheduled. The address is {Street} {City, State Zip}."

We get the message but it includes only the Installation for {cardname} has been scheduled.
