Personalization tags

Personalization tags lets you use texts in the form of {{tag}} to represent user attributes and some platform attributes in your broadcast or automation content. When the broadcast is sent, the system replaces these tags with what they actually represent. If for example you create a broadcast or automation message with this content:

Hi {{first_name}}, welcome onboard!

and you send it to a list with 2 customers with the first names Jane and Doe, the broadcast will be sent as

Hi Jane, welcome onboard! to Jane; and Hi Doe, welcome onboard! to Doe.

The tags

• {{email}} - Customer’s email.
• {{first_name}} - Customer’s first name, if added.
• {{last_name}} - Customer’s last name, if added.
• {{number}} - Customer’s phone number (international format), if added.
• {{meta.attribute}} - Any other customer’s attribute where attribute is the name of the attribute. e.g {{meta.amount_paid}}.
• {{unsubscribe_url}} - Broadcast or automation unsubscribe link. Only available if enabled for the broadcast or automation. By default, Engage adds an unsubscribe link at the end of unsubscribe-enabled messages. However, if your message already includes the unsubscribe_url tag, Engage will not include the unsubscribe footer.

Personalization tags in automation messages

Depending on your automation trigger, additional personalization tags can be available for your automation messages. These tags will start with event.. For example, if your automation is triggered by the Stripe event Charge successful (charge.succeeded), the following additional tags are available:

• event.amount
• event.receipt_number
• event.receipt_url
• event.status

This is properly documented in the related integrations page. For example, you can see all the personalization tags available for Stripe event triggers in our Stripe documentation page.

Advanced

Engage’s personalization tag engine system is built on Shopify’s liquid. This means you can do a lot more. You can create conditional blocks, work with loops, and manipulate tags with filters. Learn more.
