Don't have an account?
Electron Visual force Email Template to get Related Object Name by Look-up field.
I am writing one Visual force Email template.
There is one field (Let's call it Field A) on the contact page, which is look-up field that link to account.
I want to get the account name by field A, but I could only get the account's ID, right now.
If this field link to another customed object, we can use
obj1__c.obj2__r
But in this scenario it's account, how could I get the Account Name?
Also I think about to use SOQL, but is that right choice for Email Template?
I don't know if I explain it clearly, if not, I can write more, thank you for checking my question.
Update 2013-05-14
Sorry I didn't explain it very well, in my template.
- Recieve is User
- Related object is Contact.
The field A is an look up field to account, I want to get the Account Name by field A.
I had a similar case where i needed to display contact name in visualForce page i did:
{!RelatedTo.Contact__r.name}
if you do "contact__c" it will show only the ID
Can you check and go back to me ? it works for me.

if it is relatedtype that you assigned to relatedToType in the <messaging:emailTemplate> tag then you are refering then some thing like this u can use
{!related.name}
But I still want to thank you.
