Differences between toolbars
There is a small difference in functionality between the Terms, Services and Notifications toolbars.
The reason for the reduced functionality for Services and Notifications toolbars is to prevent any compromises to the final display output (i.e. your proposal).
If you need certain functionality for your business, please reach out to us with your use case at help@ignitionapp.com. We'd love to research and understand your needs!
Inserting Images
You can upload an image to add to your templates if you wish.
You can either copy and paste it into your template directly or insert the image via URL through the image button in the toolbar.
Please note: If you are copying and pasting a URL, please ensure you copy the "http://" or "https://" in the link otherwise you may run into issues.
Select the image to manage your images alignment and click & drag the corners of the image if you need to resize.
Using Placeholders
You can make use of Placeholders to dynamically populate clients details in your templates.
When you use Placeholders, they will be clearly marked with a grey background. Hover over the placeholder to turn it purple and a description of the information it will display.
Click Placeholders to insert a particular placeholder you wish to use.
If your placeholder is not displaying correctly or is not working as expected, please follow these steps to troubleshoot.
Using the signature font
If you wish to insert a signature style font, simply highlight your name (or the text you want to change) with your cursor and click Paragraph → Signature 1, 2 or 3.
Dynamic content with Liquid
The Terms Templates are supported by Liquid for more dynamic and customized content. Liquid uses a combination of objects, tags, and filters inside template files to display dynamic content.
Fallback values (defaults)
Code | Result |
Hi {{ contact.addressee | default:contact.name }} | Hi Mike |
| If Contact does not have a first name:
Hi Michael Jordan, |
Adding Comments (hiding text)
The Terms Templates are supported by Liquid for more dynamic and customized content. Liquid uses a combination of objects, tags, and filters inside template files to display dynamic content.
You can add comments that will not be rendered/displayed by wrapping text in
{% comment %} and {% endcomment %} tags.
Example:
{% comment %} This is a comment or note. This will not display to your clients {% endcomment %}
Line and paragraph spacing
If you need to add a new paragraph, simply press Return/Enter on your keyboard.
If you need to add a blank line (a new line), simply press Shift + Return/Enter on your keyboard.
Horizontal Line / Divider
If you would like to use a horizontal line to to better segment or divide your terms template, you can type three dashes to create a horizontal line/divider.
