Email Mapping

Emails v2 are versatile, handy and rich with features, has a sleeker UI and comes with additional mergevars you could use in emails templates.

Chargebee seamlessly handles your move from Email v1 to v2 with utmost care so as to make sure you don't lose email template data (unless you intentionally decline to move data). The migration also gets you up and running with the moved templates and data in Email v2.

You are provided with two options while moving to Email v2,

• Move with email data
• Move without email data

This doc serves as a central source of reference if you chose to move from Email v1 to v2 in either of the cases of with or without data. It is recommended you go through the doc completely to understand email template mapping between v1 and v2 and feature compatibility before sending emails through v2.

Email mapping between v1 and v2

This table contains the mapping between Emails v1 to v2 and template specific additional information.

Paid feature compatibility

Segmentation is a paid feature in Emails v2 and if you were using it in Email v1, only the segment filters you used are moved seamlessly to the corresponding email in v2, and by default has that filter selected in the Send to list.

For example, if you had used Subscription Renewal First Reminder email in v1 with the segment filter bi-monthly or longer, while you move to Email v2, the same filter is mapped to the corresponding email in v2. The email in v2 now has segment filter bi-monthly or longer selected by default in the Send to list.

Reminder emails is also a paid feature in Emails v2. However, if you were using it in Email v1, it is seamlessly moved to Email v2 and you can edit and make changes to the template if necessary. However, if you try and create new one, it won't be allowed.
