This page provides the resources and information you need to get maximum benefit using CCH One Click system email templates.

CCH OneClick Email Templates

NOTE! This information applies to version 2022.1 of CCH Central and above. If you are running an earlier version of CCH Central, please update to the latest version first.

This page details the use of each CCH OneClick Email Template and includes suggested changes to the wording of each template for best practice.

The sections below contain the following information:

Current Email Templates
The 16 current templates are listed alphabetically. Click a template name to view detailed information for that template, including when the template is used, the available Merge Fields, and our suggested wording.  

A list of Merge Fields
The 19 current Merge Fields are listed alphabetically. For each Merge Field is an explanation of how the field is evaluated, and a list of templates the field can be used in.  

Note: Only certain Merge Fields are available in each of the templates. 

Additional Information 
General information that applies to all templates.

Unused email templates 
For completeness, we include a list of templates that are no longer used. 

Current Email Templates

You can view and edit Email Templates in CCH Central by selecting File > Maintenance > OneClick > Email Templates.

Click the 'Email Type' column heading to sort the templates into alphabetical order. To edit a template, double-click to open it. If a spell checker appears, click 'Cancel' to close the spell checker.

The following 16 email templates are used to send emails to client or employee users. Click on each template name to view full details of the Email Template, and some suggested wording.

A note about Dynamic Links:  Some templates include 'Dynamic Links'.  A dynamic link checks the status of a user's account when clicked, and takes the user to the activation page (if not yet activated) or the login page (if already activated).  Using a dynamic link in activation emails removes the need for both an activation link and a homepage link in the template. Dynamic links are created when the email is generated, and you must use the Merge Field button to insert the field into your template to function correctly. 

AAACreateOneClickClient: When activating a new client, or an associated contact of a client for CCH OneClick

This template is used when activating a new client, or an associated contact of a client. It is sent when you complete the activation process in CCH Central and the client user must click either the OneClick Homepage Link or the Activation Link (these links are both 'dynamic' so only one is required) to activate their account.

What is AAA?: AAA (mentioned in the Email Type name) is the internal name for the Wolters Kluwer Account, which is the authentication system used for logging in to all Wolters Kluwer European cloud products. 

Dynamic links: The 'Activation link' and the 'OneClick Homepage Link' merge fields are dynamic. You do not need to include both fields in your text.
 
Activation video: We have an activation video you can link to, to help users follow the activation process. The video is found here: https://vimeo.com/465706220  

Suggested text changes to the default text:

  • Remove email-templates-remove-Domain-Name.png.
    This merge field displays your CCH OneClick environment name (the part in front of accountantspace.co.uk in the URL) but your clients don't need to know this 
  • The default template contains two sentences referring to 'this link'.  Now that the links are dynamic, you can combine the two sentences into one, and only use one of the merge fields. 
  • Remove the last sentence which refers to mobile applications.  We have discontinued support for the CCH OneClick mobile application now the CCH OneClick site is mobile responsive. 
  • Add a link to the activation video as suggested above.  
  • Add a contact number if you have a central switchboard.

See Screenshot below for our recommended wording and Email Subject:

Additional information 

  • All emails are sent from notifications@accountantspace.co.uk.  You should use the clipboard_e9a344d6974ce20b73b5904d463eb43d6.png merge field in the email subject and body where appropriate. 
  • If you add your logo, or any other image, to the email body we recommend inserting via URL as some email systems will remove inserted images.

  • Do not copy and paste merge fields from one template to another. Use the merge field buttons on the left to add them. 
  • Email templates cannot be ‘tested’ without being sent.  Use a test client/employee to test your templates. 
  • The values in the merge fields are created at the time each email is generated.  The 'link' merge fields contain encrypted data identifying the user that the email is being sent to.
