First Time Only

10. Now you have a specific trigger and action...

11. Step 4 - Match Up Fields
Pick a Thankster project from your
account. The font and message styles
(such as font color and line angle) will
be taken from this project.
Fill in the sender fields. These will be
used for the return address in your
envelopes, and will appear in the same
handwriting font as your message.

12. Step 4 - Match Up Fields (Continued)
Click the “insert fields” icon to insert each
receiver field. Do not type them in. Each
field you insert indicates which Salesforce
field to grab this data from. These will
populate the recipient addresses on your
envelopes, and will appear in the same
handwriting font as they are in your selected
Thankster message.

13. Step 5 - Write Message
Put the cursor after “Dear “, and
click the “Insert fields icon”. Then
Select the Salesforce field
corresponding to first name. The
lead’s first name will be grabbed
from Salesforce.
Then type your main message.
** IMPORTANT: Don’t
type more than 150
characters on either page
unless you check to be
sure your message fits
using the Thankster
project selected at the
beginning of Step 5.
If you need to write more, you can write
on the other inside page (Thankster
cards are folder cards).

14. Step 6 - Test Your Zap
NOTE: When you test your Zap here, an
order will get sent to Thankster for fulfillment.
So it is best to put the words "TESTING
ONLY" either in recipient address or in the
message (or both), so we know not to fulfill it.
Once the test succeeds, put the real
information back.
