Administrators can customize the default email body and subject line that Draftable uses when users export comparison outputs via the Email option. This allows your organisation to include standard text such as disclaimers, instructions, or reference information in every comparison email sent from Draftable.

​
How it works

When a user exports a comparison output using the Email option in Draftable Legal, an Outlook email is generated with the selected outputs attached. By default, the email body and subject line are blank (aside from any outputs the user chooses to embed in the body). With this configuration, you can set:
  • A custom email body — default text that appears in the email body. If the user also chooses to include export outputs in the email body, those outputs will be appended to your custom text.
  • A custom email subject — default text that appears in the email subject line.
The screenshot below shows the resulting Outlook email with both a custom subject line and custom body text applied, along with the comparison outputs attached.

The email export workflow is not supported for users using ‘New’ Outlook. For more details on emailing comparison outputs, see Emailing comparison outputs.
