How to display event activity date and event activity datetime of lead on email template ?

Hi All,

I have a doubt regarding displaying merge fields on Email template. I want to display event activityDate and Event ActivityDateTime related to Lead object in an Email Template. I have written the merge fields like below:

Your appointment Date and Time is listed below: 
{!Event.ActivityDate} 
{!Event.ActivityDateTime}

But it is not working when sending a demo email. It is an urgent requirement. Please provide a solution for this. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Swetha,

Event Activity is child object of lead. 

Hence, Cross Object Email Template is not Possible in salesforce at this point in time

  Only Possible way to access and Display child record details in email template of parent is to use Visualforce Email Templates
