Setting Up Workflow to Use Substitution Fields

Templates in Siebel Email Response can include substitution fields from any business component that has a correctly configured relationship to the Comm Outbound Email business component. Business components with this relationship include Account, Campaign, Contact, Opportunity, and Service Request.

Before you attempt to set up templates that include substitution fields other than a default active business component, you must modify the eMail Response - Response workflow.
