Adding the {{insertEventFiles}} Token to Email Templates as
Content creators can control the availability and positioning of attached files in Approved Email templates by inserting the {{insertEventFiles}} token. Content creators should consider the following when using the {{insertEventFiles}} token:
- The token can only be used in Events Management email templates
-
The token should be enclosed in an empty <table> HTML tag
Adding the token via the BEE Editor automatically encloses the token in the appropriate tag.
- The token cannot be used in conjunction with the {{insertEmailFragments}} token. If both tokens are present in the Email Template, the {{insertEmailFragments}} token is ignored and does not render.
Styling the {{insertEventFiles}} Token
Files can be styled via the enclosing <table> tag or via the following CSS classes:
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment – Controls the style of the table
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment td – Controls the style of the table cells
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment td.file-type-icon – Controls the style of table cells containing file icons
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment td.file-name – Controls the style of the table cells containing file names
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment a:link – Controls the style of an unvisited file link
- .ae-dynamic-email-fragment a:visited – Controls the style of a visited file link
Adding Files to Event Material Records as
Files can be made available in Approved Emails by adding attachments to an em_event_material__v record with an approved__v field value of yes__v.
The following formats are supported:
| File Category | Supported File Extensions |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Office Files | .docx, .xlsx, .pptx |
| Audio Files | .mp3, .wav |
