Email Modifiers

A new feature was introduced in Version 2.925 called 'email modifiers'. This feature allows the administrator to perform 'find and replace' on the body of the email and on individual fields within an email.

Modifiers are grouped under a parent document and can be applied to a Main Signature or to individual sub signatures.

Creating a New Mail Modifier

  • From within the esig.nsf database open the view 'Email Modifiers'.
  • Create a new Mail Modifier.

  • Give the Mail Modifier a name and a description, and save the document.
  • Create a Mail Modifier Item.

  • Complete the Mail Modifier item fields.

    This field is the order in which the regular expressions are applied.

    b. Body Field

    Order Of Processing

    NB. Care must be taken when using email modifiers in the order they are processed. If a signature configuration and sub-signature both contain an email modifier then both email modifiers will be applied. They will be applied in the following order:

  • The 'other fields' from the signature configuration email modifiers will be applied to the email before the signature is appended in the order set in the 'Order Number' field
  • The 'body fields' will be applied to the email body of the email.
  • The 'other fields' will be applied to the Email from the first sub-signature.
  • The Body Field from the first sub-signature will be applied to the body field. (including any changes applied from previous signature configurations/sub-signatures).
  • Apply the email modifiers from any other sub-signatures.
