We are doing a "year-in-review" email for our customers, pulling in interesting stats relevant for their business. (example: you've sent [XX] messages this year." I've made custom fields for each data point we will pull in. Here is an example of the API name for the field: Total_Repairs_YIR2026.
I am struggling to create a velocity code to pull this field into the email. Our development team will eventually change the styling of the text to accommodate our design.
Any suggestions to create a code that won't break the email?
Why do think you need Velocity, rather than the fields’ corresponding {{lead.tokens}}? (There are many fitting reasons to use Velocity, just need more detail before continuing.)
If our developer is coding the email, can he still have the full capabilities of styling/catering to our design with the {{lead.tokens}}? We have some pretty large numbers being pulled into our modules, so making sure the formatting is correct is very important.
OK, so wherein lies the problem? Just create a velocity token, format your numbers inside the token as required, and then output the numbers. As long as you just output them as plain text, they'll get the formatting of the surrounding HTML.
