Documents and email

Templates that fill themselves in, and the two ways to send email from SwiftCase.

Before you start

Sending and receiving email requires an email account on the user's profile. An internal admin adds this from the Email Accounts panel. See Users and permissions for the steps.

Email templates

Email templates pre-populate the content of an email so your team stops retyping the same message.

  1. 1Click Admin, then View on the Email panel.
  2. 2Click Create Template.
  3. 3Add a template name and a subject.
  4. 4If the template should only be available from a particular workflow, tick Is this a workflow only Template and choose the workflow.
  5. 5Write the body. Click Insert Task Information Tag to add user, question, task and file tags.
  6. 6Click Save.

To change one later, find it in the list and either hover the name and click Edit or use the cog icon at the end of the row. Deleting works the same way and asks you to confirm.

Document templates

  1. 1Click Admin, then View on the Documents panel.
  2. 2Click Create Template.
  3. 3Add a document name and file name, and choose a category.
  4. 4Choose a header template and a footer template.
  5. 5Under Advanced Options, set the format and layout. Under Image Set Options, add or create image sets.
  6. 6Add your HTML content, using Insert Task Information Tag for anything that should come from the case.
  7. 7Click Save.

Assets used by templates, including logos and letterheads, can be uploaded and managed from the document template editor itself, so a rebrand does not mean editing every template by hand.

Information tags

Tags are the mechanism behind both kinds of template. Insert Task Information Tag opens lists of user, question, task and file tags. Each is replaced with the real value at the moment the document or email is produced, which is what lets a single template serve every case that runs through the workflow.

Sending email

There are two routes, and which one you use depends on whether the email is about a person or about a case.

To email a user, click Users, then My Team Members or My Client Staff, open their profile and click Email User. The recipient field is pre-populated. To email from a case, open the task page, open the Quick Actions panel and click Compose Email. The subject pre-populates with the task reference and summary.

Either way you can add more recipients by typing an address into the email field or a name into the users field and clicking To, cc or bcc, and you can select an email template rather than starting from a blank message.

Listing documents on a status

The List Documents action shows the documents attached to the case on the status page. Drag it in from Available Actions, set who can see it, and add visibility rules if it should only appear once something else has happened.
