Merge tags

Personalise subjects and content with contact data.

1 min read

Merge tags are replaced with each contact's details when an email is sent.

Tag Replaced with
{{first_name}} First name
{{last_name}} Last name
{{email}} Email address
{{custom.plan}} A custom field, by its key
{{unsubscribe_url}} One-click unsubscribe link
{{preferences_url}} Link to manage subscriptions
{{view_in_browser_url}} Web version of the email

Fallbacks

Add a default after a pipe for contacts without a value: Hi {{first_name|there}} becomes "Hi there" when the first name is empty.

Custom fields

Create custom fields under Audience → Custom fields. Their keys become merge tags automatically, for example {{custom.company}}.

Unsubscribe link

Every campaign must contain an unsubscribe link. If your design does not include {{unsubscribe_url}}, we add a small footer with one.
