Auto-Fill Templates with Contact and Opportunity Data
Rather than editing a template by hand for every new deal, you can insert merge fields that automatically pull in a contact's or an opportunity's saved details — their name, project budget, service type, closing date, or any other field you track.
How it works
Inside the document editor, merge fields act as placeholders. When a document is generated — whether you send it manually or a workflow generates it — Vendi Today replaces each placeholder with the actual saved value from that contact or opportunity record.
Adding merge fields to a template
- Open a document template in the editor.
- Wherever you want dynamic information to appear, open the field/merge menu.
- Choose from Contact custom fields or Opportunity details, depending on what you need to pull in.
- Save the template.
Using it with workflows
This is especially powerful paired with a workflow: trigger a document to send whenever a Pipeline Stage Changed or Opportunity Status Changed event happens, and the document that goes out will already reflect that specific deal's current numbers and details — no manual editing required.
Why this matters
- One template, many deals. You maintain a single document design instead of a new copy for every client.
- Fewer mistakes. Values are pulled directly from your records instead of retyped by hand.
- Consistency. Every document that goes out follows the same layout and formatting.
