Set Subject: To: CC: BCC: Using Quick Messages

Hello, I have been tasked with creating some quick messages. Our use case is a series of predefined notification to a third party. These are only sent on an ad hoc basis so it doesn't seem like there is a way to schedule the messages being sent.

These messages are sent to a list of predefined recipients and I would like to have the quick message dropdown set those fields based on which quick message is used.I would also like to set the subject with information pulled directly from the INC.

I Looked and was unable to find any business rules, client scripts, script includes, or any way to modify the quick message UI action to do this. Is this something possible?

I looked through the source and noticed that the email client has a line for applying the canned messages but was unable to locate this function anywhere.

onChange="setCannedText(this, false);

HI @Dan Menter

You can configure this easily in the "Email Client Templates" under Email Client application. Or sys_email_client_template is table name.

For example this for sc_req_item table

Once configured you can open quick message from RITM record "To", "CC" and Subject will be pulled dynamically. 

Hope it helps!

As far as I know, there can only be one Email Client Template per table meaning that if you define an Email Client Table for, say, the incident table, it would be applied to all Quick Messages created on that table. Am I wrong?
