Overview

Customize your communications with specific information automatically.

Variables are a way to fill in the blanks to customize a template message with information relevant to the client you're contacting. This saves you from having to type out specific details when sending messages, as the variable will populate it for you.

Variables

Variables are available for email as well as text messages, which can be found by going to the Gear Icon > Settings > Emails and Text Message.

For each template, variables can be inserted to populate the relevant information.

The preview shows what your client sees when they receive the email or text message from you will the variable populated with information. If you use a variable that isn't supported or make a typo, the preview will show the variable or incorrect text instead of populating correctly. The preview is a good way to look over what you'll be sending out, before you actually start sending things out.

For example, in this email template the {{CLIENT_NAME}} variable populates with the name of the client that this email is being sent to, as well as the quote total and the date the quote was sent.

When variables can be added to a message, there will be an option below the message template to Insert Variable. This will insert the variable into your message, then when it's sent to your client the variable will fill in the blanks with the relevant information.
