    1. Hi Kumar, assume you already know which email template, click "Edit HTML Version", and add Description field.
      But, it cannot be show just the first 2 lines, because every email client and characters have different width. So, what you can do, you can cut let's sayf first 200 characters. Create new text formula field with LEFT() function.

    1. Monica, I think your question regarding API user do not related to this blog post. But, let me give you quick answer on this:
      "Api Only User" is a setting in Profile, this will block user to login to Salesforce.com, but allow user to login via API (which is via code or 3rd party app).

      Is API user with read only access similar to a user account with read access? -- Yes, user will only able to read Salesforce data via API code.
