- This will open the raw HTML code where you can add or modify HTML elements, attributes, and structure.
6. Insert Dynamic Fields (Optional)
- In the email or website editor, you can also insert dynamic fields such as customer names, order details, etc., by using Odoo placeholders.
- These placeholders are typically available through a dropdown or by manually typing the correct field syntax (e.g., {{ user.name }} for a user’s name).
7. Preview the Content (Optional)
- After making your changes, you can preview the content to ensure that the formatting appears correctly.
- In email templates, for instance, you can use the Preview button to check how the email would look before sending it.
