Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro: Using Auto Text to insert buyer and listing information

In Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro, you can use AutoText to personalize your buyer emails by automatically inserting the buyer's name, listing URL, or other variable text.

To insert AutoText:
  1. In the Sold or Archived view, click on a buyer's email address to access the Email Buyer page.

  2. Click the Manage Email Templates link.

  3. Click the Edit link next to the template you want to change.

  4. Place your cursor where you want to insert the AutoText entry.

  5. From the AutoText drop-down menu, select the variable you want to insert.

  6. Click the Insert button.

    The AutoText displays in the message where you placed your cursor, enclosed in {curly brackets}.

    When you send the email or save the template, the {AutoText} will be replaced by the AutoText variable you chose (for example, the individual buyer's name).

Note: To preview the AutoText variables before sending an email, click the Preview
