I'm trying to get the name of the contact in the introduction of my email ( mass mailing) and i don't really know how to.

I tried like that : But it doesn't do anything.

  1. Dear ${mail.mass_mailing.contact},

I'm using Odoo 10


Thank you for your help

To render the contact name you need to use the mako expressions '${expr}' in the mail,

When 

1. the Recipients type is Customer (fields of res.partner)

${object.name}

2.  the Recipients type is Applicant (fields of hr.applicant)

${object.partner_name}

3.  the Recipients type is Leads / Opportunities (fields of crm.lead) 

${object.partner_name}
or
${object.contact_name}
 

4.  the Recipients type is Mailing List (fields of mail.mass_mailing.contact)

${object.name}


Please Note: when you send the test email it is not rending the mako expressions.

Hi Atul, I have tried all the ways in Odoo 16. Nothing is working. Is this solution still works perfectly?

To Reference an Object in a mailing template use QWeb tags 

For Name in a Mailing use this placeholder

t t-out="object.name">Name /t

With odoo15 to personalize emails, you should use :

  • in subject, expression like : {{ object.name }}
  • in mail body, code like :  

 t-out="object.title.name or ''" contenteditable="false" data-oe-t-inline="true">

 t-out="object.lastname or ''" contenteditable="false" data-oe-t-inline="true">

in t xml tag

firstname and lastname are possible fields after installing the OCA module partner_firstname. To insert this code, you have to edit code source of your email (inside html field or with the inspect function of your web navigator)

@Dom, you can include just the first name in the mail using ${object.name.split(' ')[0]}

(I can't claim credit for this as I just altered the solution for dates from here (https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/how-to-change-email-templates-date-format-15885)

I have also the same problem.I have checked in developer mode the name of the field and it is "name". I have modified a mass mailing template and used ${object.name} but instead of the customer name, it is {object.name} that appears in the email.  Could anyone help ?

Regards,

Philippe

You should use 'object'. This object is a reference to a recipient model. When recipients are customers, try just:

${object.name}

Otherwise, depending on related recipients models. e.g. for leads/opportunities (you may find exact field name in developer mode, while just point on this field):

${object.contact_name}
