Follow the exact route shown above and verify the stored record, generated file and delivery evidence instead of relying on an alert alone.

What this guide covers

Keep the internal template label separate from the recipient-facing subject and PDF content. These instructions follow the inspected module’s live hook, route, controller, model, installer, PDF helper and view flow.

Exact step-by-step process

Use Template Name to help staff identify the template.
Use Letter Subject for the correspondence subject.
Use Letter Content for the official PDF body.
Save and test the template in both send tabs.

EvidenceVerify the history row, PDF, email metadata, open evidence, signature, public page, client view or postal fields produced by this flow.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

The templates table retains template_name, subject and content.
The historical name field may exist from the base table, but the current UI uses template_name.
The module does not expose merge-field validation or a separate version history for templates.

Expected result and verification

The requested letter, template, setting, file or tracking detail is created or updated through the supported route.
The history row, generated PDF, email/send metadata, public verification, signature evidence, client view or postal display agrees with the action.
Any warning, missing file or failed send is investigated rather than bypassed.

Security, privacy and operational checks

Apply least privilege and verify recipient identity before sending or exposing public links.
Protect PDFs, enclosures, signatures, verification URLs, email-open metadata, IP addresses and customer data under organisational policy.
Test configuration and deployment changes with controlled records before production-wide use.
Interpret email opens and e-signatures according to their documented technical limitations.
