Table of Contents

Email Broadcast offers merge tags for all kinds of information with the idea of making your emails more personal to your audiance which in returns gets you better results. 

Formatting Merge Tags

{{tag}}

The basic format.  If the merge tag is blank for the specifidc contact / sender nothing will be entered.   Generally, you want to avoid using this format unless you are 100% sure the merge tag contains data.

{{tag|default}}

The default is used when the merge tag for the specific contact / sender is not specified.  It is a best practice to use default values to ensure that your emails are always the best they can be.

Special notes

  • Tag is not case sensitive
  • Default is case sensitive
  • For tag and default values the leading and trailing whitespace will be removed
  • For the default values, you can have multiple words
