Hi. The pretty easy task turns into spending hours. I want to inform myself each time lead is created. I am using Automation Workflow, "Lead Created" trigger, and "Action - Send email using template". I have created a new Template and wanna use it. But there are two required fields that I don't need. Anyway, even though I don't need them I can't select anything in a third one

As an alternative, I can use instead "Action - Send email using template" just an "Action - Send email". But in this case, I don't have the possibility to pick the necessary custom fields Person-related. In the next example, the "date_of_birth" is a custom field created by me.

    Can you control the fields on the previous step of the workflow?

    Yes, I can. In the previous step, I am selecting any of those.

    In the next step, I have two fields to start. Which is great

    But after selecting a previously created Email Template two more fields appear.

    Hi @Iaroslav  please can i check, when you select the fields to populate - are you choosing Deal as well as Lead?

    If you have chosen Deal - it will assume you have a Deal in which needs to be emailed, deselect this field if you dont have any Deals to be emailed

    Hi @Edie Mew No, I am leaving it as it is

    Hi @Eirik Larsen  and @Iaroslav  I wanted to ask in any of the email templates you are choosing to send via automation - do they contain data fields which pull data from a Deal and not a Lead?

    Hi,

    As mentioned previously, this seems to come from a field in the email template that you might need to delete.

    Have a lovely day!
