Hi,

Because the three fields Distributor,reseller and end User are Lookup fields. They contains ID values .you need to access the name with relationship like:

 

<td>Distributor:</td>
<td>{!relatedTo.Distributor__r.name}</td>    <!--__r for relationship -->

 

<td>Reseller:</td>
<td>{!relatedTo.Reseller__r.name}</td>

 

<td>End User:</td>
<td>{!relatedTo.Account.Name}</td>

 

 

Please let me know if u have any problem on same and if this post helps u please throw KUDOS by click on star at left.

HI,

In Vf template you put "relatedToType="Opportunity" " , So if you want to access the fields of opportunity u need to access as :

{!relatedTo.name}  Not  {!opportunity.name} 

 

So u need to replace {!opportunity.name}  to {!relatedTo.name}   etc.. for all fields.

 

 

Please let me know if u have any problem on same and if this post helps u please through KUDOS by click on star at left.

Hi Puja,

 

Thank you! That seemed resolve my error.  I used the "send test and verify merge fields" button to verify the fields are merging properly.  In the test email, I returned what appeard is the ID number for the Reseller, Distributor, and End User field and not the acutal data in these fields. Not sure what this is happening. 

 

I attached my update VF page code:

<messaging:emailTemplate recipientType="User"
    relatedToType="Opportunity"
    subject="Channel Special Pricing Approval Request: {!relatedTo.name}">

For Standard Objects append .Name against the Id fields. For Custom Objects just append <Custom Object__r>.Name to get the name values and not Ids.

Hi,

I have created a Visualforce Template and unable to execute. I have 3 objects involved in this. 
Account
Asset and 
ProAct Alarm(custom obj)
Please let me know how I can include the rest 2 objects in the relatedtotype, so I can add field mapping of those objects too.

Here is my code:
<messaging:emailTemplate recipientType="Contact"
