Create correspondence rules to define, in HTML, templates for the content of outgoing correspondence. Each correspondence rule contains standard text for one type of correspondence, such as email, letter, or fax. JavaServer Pages (JSP) tags or directives allow correspondence to incorporate property values and calculations.

Informally, correspondence rules are sometimes called templates, as they define form letters for property values.

To print correspondence or send faxes, your Pega 7 Platform system must be connected to a Correspondence Output Server. To send correspondence as email messages, your system must contain an Email Account data instance and connect to a mail server.

Correspondence rules that use JSP tags can incorporate paragraph rules (Rule-HTML-Paragraph rule type), which provide rich-text editing on the rule form.
