and user-level email verification. Email delivery fails if either the user's email address or
the email-sending domain is unverified. See Requirements to Send Email from Salesforce.
First, create an email template ZIP file. In the email body, you can add variables to include information about the video call, such as:
- Invitation URL:
{{remotesession.url}} - Phone access number:
{{remotesession.phoneNumbersForEmail}}
You can also include the phone access number in the iCalendar description by using the
{{remotesession.phoneNumbersForICS}} variable.
-
Make sure that your org uses the Life Sciences RSVP email address.
When you attach iCalendar files to email templates, the email invitations use the Life Sciences email address for RSVPs. After recipients accept or reject invitations, responses are sent to the RSVP address, and the response status is updated on the related Life Sciences Email records.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, search for and select Life Sciences for Customer Engagement Setup.
- Verify that the RSVP email address is turned on.
- From the App Launcher, find and select Life Sciences Commercial, and then select Admin Console.
- Select Email, and then select Email Templates.
- Select New Email Template.
- Upload the ZIP file for the email template that you created.
-
Enter a subject, name, effective start and end dates, and these additional values.
