| Apr 15, 2017 at 23:23 | comment | added | BobS | In CiviCRM terminology, {contact.first_name} is called a token. Are you saying that you're sending it to Contact-A in Yahoo (and seeing Contact-A's first name) and to Contact-B in gmail/outlook (and not seeing Contact-B's first name)? What exactly are you seeing in gmail/outlook that makes you say it does not get displayed correctly, and what do you expect to see? | |
| Apr 15, 2017 at 22:58 | comment | added | angel limneos | I know various email clients support different subset of html, that is why i tested my html template on such a service which tests different providers and clients. By attribute I was talking about {contact.first_name} it gets displayed correctly in yahoo but not in gmail/outlook under the same template. | |
| Apr 15, 2017 at 22:16 | comment | added | BobS | You should be able to see you HTML email in Yahoo. I don't know what you mean by "the attribute". The various email clients/services each support a different subset of HTML. See stackoverflow.com/questions/12276995/… | |
| Apr 15, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | angel limneos | Sending the emails to different mail providers it seems that the attribute cannot be read from gmail/outlook but it can be read from yahoo. Is there any way to check if the name is coming with the email? Maybe checking the source code of the email can give me more information? If it helps yahoo mail comes as plain text which is weird since I have tested the template on a service which checks with different providers. | |
