How to import custom E-Mail-Greeting?
January 11, 2011, 07:02:09 am
I have successfully imported standard E-Mail Greetings (e.g. "Dear {contact.individual_prefix} {contact.last_name}"
However, I get errors whenever I try to import a CUSTOM E-Mail-Greeting (e.g. "Hiya" but even sth "official" like "Dear {contact.individual_prefix} {contact.last_name}
" won't work).
I thought, the custom E-Mail Greeting was a free text field!?

Can anyone explain this error or suggest how to successfully import CUSTOM E-Mail greetings, please?

TIA,

Chris

I've made a quick test with a very basic dummy file (just first /last name, Email and Custom E-Mail greeting) on several installs (from Version 3.2.2 to 3.3.3) and funny enough it did work like that.

Unfortunately, I have already deleted the (more complex) error files I got earlier, but if I remember correctly those included a mix of custom and standard greetings, so this may have caused the troubles?

I have a fairly big import-job scheduled in the upcoming days so I'll check that out and post back if I find out anything of general interest. Thanks, anyway!
