Hello, just a quick question. Is it possible to add custom data source object in an email template? Thanks!

How much additional data do you need / what is the use case? There are a few ways to get additional data into email templates, the main one, if you are scripting, is to directly insert the data into your email template using a JS template engine like handlebars. You could also just do a simple string replace of known tokens with data from your script.

I go w/ the string replace myself if I absolutely need it.

we used to use (I haven't done it in a while) lodash template

_.template()

I will use this in an approval wf, the case is that our Next Approver field is a multiselect field and when pulling up the custom field in the email template, it shows as:

"Approver 1 Approver 2 Approver 3"

We want to be able to loop in the Next Approver field so we can show them as list on the email body. Something like: •

Approver 1

•

Approver 2

•

Approver 3

You're gonna need some scripting to do this unless you can somehow source the approvers onto the record to print from.

For reference, this helped me adding custom data source object in an email template https://ashabarijena.wordpress.com/2020/05/23/tip-31-use-dynamic-value-in-email-template-w[…]ed=335&moderation-hash=5b9fbbe2f3b6c06520af8faec6506fe4 (might not be applicable in all use cases).

using a library for this is typically faster and less error prone.
