If you’re a Salesforce Commerce Cloud merchant, you can create and enable transactional email templates, so you can provide your customers with consistent and relevant order details. You can see a list of different events that happen in your Salesforce Commerce Cloud store, such as a new account, account updates, or new order confirmations. You can apply different settings to each storefront, as well as each version of your storefront.
Version availability
Transactional email templates are available for cartridge v20.1.0.
Design transactional email templates
To design your transactional email template, you need to use EasyEditor and insert variables into text blocks where they are needed.
Learn more about using EasyEditor in the EasyEditor area in our help centre.
When designing your transactional email campaign, make sure to remove all unsupported blocks. You don’t have to remove your unsubscribe link because it’s automatically removed at the time of the campaign send.
Learn more about unsupported blocks for transactional email campaigns in Create and design a transactional email.
Inserting variables
Liquid variables help to personalise your email campaign so that the information is correct and relevant to your customers’ orders. For example, if you create an order confirmation email campaign, you might use the following Liquid variables for your campaign layout:
Hi, ####{{ data.order.billing_address.first_name }}.
Thanks for your order ####{{ data.order.id }}!
Your order status is now: ####{{ data.order.order_status }}.
You've ordered the following products:
Items
{% for product in data.order.products %}
####{{ product.name }} (####{{product.sku}}) x ####{{ product.qty }}
{% if product.options %}
{% for option in product.options %}
####{{ option.name }}: ####{{option.value }} |
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
Price: ####{{ product.price_inc_tax }}
