Hi J,
HTML templates can only display basic fields. So, you would need a formula field:
MaskedCustomTextField__c (Text) =
LPAD(CustomTextField__c,LEN(CustomTextField__c)-4,"X") &
RIGHT(CustomTextField__c,4)
Put the formula field into the HTML template, and you're good to go:{!Account.MaskedCustomTextField__c}
If you use a Visualforce template, you can put it directly in to your text:{!LPAD(CustomTextField__c,LEN(CustomTextField__c)-4,"X") &
RIGHT(CustomTextField__c,4)}Hope it helps 🙂

HTML templates can only display basic fields. So, you need to create a formula field:
EncryptedField__c Formula's:
LPAD((RIGHT(CustomTextField__c,4)),LEN(CustomTextField__c),"X")
Put the formula field into the HTML template, and you're good to go:
{!Account.EncryptedField__c }
I have validated with Phone field on Account and it works for me. Hope this helps you too.
