Merge fields not populating in email template

Question

I created a classic email template and have merged fields from a custom object called Order (not the native Salesforce Order object).

The following merged fields don't seem to work:

Order Name: {!NU__Order__c.Name} Pay NOW URL: {!NU__Order__c.PayNowUrl__c} Payment URL: {!NU__Order__c.NU__PaymentUrl__c}

However, oddly enough this one works:

Balance: {!NU__Order__c.NU__Balance__c}

And this one works - {!Order.Name} - even though we aren't using the standard Order object.

All the above fields on the Order record are populated.

I even tried fields on a related object (Cart):

TEST: {!NU__Cart__c.NU__PaymentUrl__c} TEST: {!NU__Cart__c.PayNowUrl__c}

Thanks in advance for any help. Looking through some help docs but have not found any solution yet.

Answer 1

It could be that your email is being triggered from some object where there is not an "NU__Order__c" record in context.

When you say "balance__c" works and "order.name" works - how do you know they work? If you don't use the standard order object, it would have no name, and you wouldn't see anything on the template.
