I did try that before posting this, but I get "Invalid field Opportunity for SObject Opportunity" as an error. The fied I am trying to reference is a custom field on the opportunity.

You might have encountered that error as you referred to field as {!relatedTo.Opportunity} in the template.And that error message is valid.Opportunity field is not part of Opportunity object. Can you share screenshot of the template with the error message.
