4.1 Modifying the Meeting Invitation Template

The meeting invitation template has two roles. The first role is to fill the body of the meeting invitation e-mail sent to meeting participants. The second role is to create the content of an IM invitation sent to meeting participants. In order to fulfill these two roles, the template is divided into sections. The purpose of each section is to specify whether the text produced in a section should be included in an e-mail body, IM content or both. The syntax for a section is as follows:

#SECTION selector
.
.
.
#SECTION END

The selector variable represents one of the following values:

Table 4-1 Selector Variable Values

Value

Description

EMAIL_IM

The text produced in this section is present in both e-mail and IM meeting invitations.

EMAIL_ONLY

The text produced in this section is present only in e-mail meeting invitations.

IM_ONLY

The text produced in this section is present only in IM meeting invitations.

The basic operation in the section is to echo (that is output) text. For example:

echo Click here to enter the meeting <MEETINGURL><NEWLINE>
echo Pin: 
echo <INVITEE-PIN><NEWLINE>

There are several things to notice about these lines. One is that the output from an echo is appended to the result of the prior echoes. If you want a line break at a particular point, you must explicitly provide the line break by using the<NEWLINE> tag. Also, an echo line might contain tags that are replaced with values particular to the meeting to which the participant is invited. You can use the following tags:
