Template Variables

Variables are dynamic pieces of information (e.g., your name, the message recipent's name) that you can insert with templates.

How to use variables

If you address someone in your template, you can use a variable to avoid changing the recipient’s name every time you insert the template.

For example, if you want to address the correct recipient in your template, your template content would look like this:

Hello ________,
And then the rest of the template follows here...

You can use a template variable for the recipient's first name:

1. Create a new template, or edit an existing template.
2. Move your cursor to where you want the variable to be inserted.
3. Click on "Insert Variable" in the Template Content toolbar.
4. Click "To: First Name" from the drop-down menu.
5. Your template should look like this:

Hello {{to.first_name}},
And then the rest of the template follows here...

By using this template, if you are writing to Jane Doe, Briskine will insert:

Hello Jane,
And then the rest of the template follows here...
