Agent Replacement Strings

Agent Replacement Strings provide Intelligent Agents to automatically generate a user’s name and/or other information by placing the replacement string into the address field and body of an email.

Copy the replacement string, including the brackets, and paste it into the body of the message instead of using the user’s D2L email address or name.
