Emails with PDF attachments can be generated by a special type of email called Visualforce Emails. This email can be used for receipts, membership renewal notices and membership confirmations.
Quick Step Notes:
The details merged are vary for the different PDFs being generated.
All templates will allow for mail merge of Salesforce User details and Organization details.
- For receipts, details are merged from the Payment Txn object
- For Membership Renewals notices or Membership Confirmations, these details are merged from the Subscription or Account Subscriptions that is related to the membership.
For receipts, the text for the body is stored in the Campaign Receipt Text, Payment Form receipt text or the Merchant Facility Receipt Text.
For membership confirmations and membership renewal notices, the body text is maintained on the Payment Form.
The simplest way to create the mail merge fields is to use the standard Salesforce Email template maintenance and then copy/paste that text into your Receipt text located in the Payment Form.
