Use the Invitation Letter Skill

A Skill hooked to Participants can create letters for a Participant from its own template. Formist runs the Skill; its instructions decide the rest.

Many spaces keep a Skill hooked to Participants that creates invitation letters. It is ordinary space data, a specification plus one or more attached templates, tied to nothing in Formist's code. What follows describes the common shape of that kind of Skill; your space's own copy can differ.

The Skill may have a space-specific name, such as Invitation Letter or Welcome Letter. Use the Participant-linked Skill whose description and attached template match the letter you need.

How a template is usually chosen

Most invitation-letter Skills key their template choice off a Participant's Tags: a Speaker tag for a speaking invitation, a Minister or International Organisation tag for a bilingual one. The rules are additive, so a Participant tagged both ways can receive two separate files. Exactly which Tags matter, and which template each one maps to, is written in the Skill's own instructions.

Generate letters

  1. Open the Participant and confirm their Tags, name, title, Organization, and Session links are correct.
  2. Use the Participant's action menu and choose the Skill.
  3. Formist opens a chat and runs it. If a required detail is missing, it asks there rather than guessing.
  4. Review every returned file.

Generated files are saved to Files and linked to the Participant.

Bilingual data must be explicit

A bilingual template needs explicit English and Arabic values for the recipient and their Organization. The Skill does not invent, translate, or transliterate a missing official name: it asks for it in the chat and remembers the answer for next time. Complete the missing fields and run the Skill again if generation stops partway.
