Role-based recipients & CC yourself

A template is only reusable if it knows who to send to without you retyping addresses every time. The trick: address by role, not by person.

Address by role, not by email

When you build an email template, set the recipients as roles — Buyer, Seller, Listing Agent, Buying Agent, Escrow Officer, Title Company, Loan Officer, Wholesaler. On each deal, DocJacket resolves those roles to the actual contacts on that file.

So "Intro to Listing Agent" always goes to this deal's listing agent — no lookups, no copy-paste, no wrong-recipient mistakes.

Example wiring from real templates:

Inspection ScheduledBuyerBuying Agent, Transaction Coordinator
Intro to Listing AgentListing AgentBuying Agent, Transaction Coordinator

Always CC yourself

Notice the TC is CC'd on every template above. Do this on all of yours.

Why CC yourself on everything

Every message you send becomes part of a complete, searchable paper trail — in your own inbox and on the deal — with zero extra effort. When a question comes up weeks later ("did we ever send the DA?"), the answer is one search away. Professional CYA, automated.

Build sophisticated To/CC combinations

You can mix roles for the right etiquette on each message. Real examples:

  • To: Seller · CC: Transaction Coordinator, Listing Agent
  • To: Buyer · CC: Transaction Coordinator, Buying Agent
  • To: Wholesaler · CC: Transaction Coordinator

This keeps the right people looped in without anyone being surprised to be on (or off) a thread.

Set recipients on a template

  1. Open the email template at Templates > Email Templates.
  2. In the To and CC fields, add roles (not addresses).
  3. Add Transaction Coordinator to CC on essentially everything.
  4. Save. The template now resolves recipients automatically on every deal.
