Adding merge fields to ad hoc emails

The ad hoc email option doesn't give clients the ability to customize the email per student. The mass ad hoc emails wouldn't include their name, opportunity name, etc.  We recommend adding merge fields to the ad hoc email option.

    Dallas College would like to have the merge fields added to the ad hoc emails to have the ability to customize the emails send to applicants. For example, we are emailing all of our renewal recipients to remind them they have an upcoming scholarship renewing for the spring semester, it would be helpful to be able to personalize each ad hoc email with the students name in the greeting and the name of the scholarship that is renewing. I have a total of 398 student emails to send consisting of 173 different scholarship opportunities. I'm sure there are other merge fields that would also be helpful. Thank you.

    MassBay Community College would like to see this feature added. We would like to personlize communications to applicants as well as reviewers.

    This would be a great feature to have, as it has been requested several times by Opportunity Administrators primarily to include applicant name in the email when sending a denial communication.

    This is currently outside the scope of our roadmap for the upcoming year.

    Buffalostate is also requesting this feature enhancement. "Especially when I'm creating the ad hoc within a specific opportunity with specific applicants. Pulling merge fields would be very helpful." - Laura Worley
