Create a mail template (auto-text)

Use the Aconex auto-text feature to easily add standard text that is often used in project mail.

You can:

  • create a template for one particular mail type.
  • create a template for all mail types.

Tip!

If your project's Mail Types are locked, you won't be able to apply auto-text to Mail.

How does it work?

Each time you create a mail and select the mail type, the template is added automatically into your mail.

 

Who can create an auto-text template?

You can create a template for yourself.

Your Org Admin can create a template that will be available for everyone from your organization in your organization. They can do this per project, or build one that is available on all your organization’s projects.
