Incorporating variables into your email templates is a smart way to personalize your messages at scale. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:
Step 1: Access Your Template
Navigate to the 'Email Templates' section in your Outbound Settings.
Create a new email template to work from.
Step 2: Insert Variables
Place your cursor where you want to insert a variable in the template.
To add a variable to the body of your email, use the "Insert Variable" button to open the variables menu.
Choose the variable you want to insert, such as First Name, Company Name, etc. These will automatically be replaced with the recipient's information when the email is sent. (They will appear in the body of your email as $first_name, $company_name, etc.)
For the email subject line, press the "+" button to the right of the subject line to add a variable.
Step 3: Customize Your Message
Continue composing your email. You can insert as many variables as needed to make your message feel personal and relevant.
Remember, variables should make sense within the context of your message to maintain flow and readability.
Step 4: Save and Use
Once you’re satisfied with the template, save your changes.
Your template is now ready to use, with variables set to personalize each email sent to your recipients.
Best Practices
Keep It Relevant: Only use variables that add value to your message. Overuse can make an email feel impersonal.
