Personalize Campaigns with Shortcodes

Insert contact data and controlled variations without leaving unresolved placeholders in sent mail.

In the appCampaign editor → Shortcodes

Personalization sources

Built-in and custom-field shortcodes
Resolve values from the recipient and list data.
Fallback values
Provide safe replacement text when a contact value is empty, such as a neutral salutation.
Spin tags
Named sets of alternative phrases stored under Automation → Spin Tags.
Spintax
Inline alternatives written with balanced braces and pipe-separated values.

Review before sending

  • Use a fallback that fits the surrounding phrase. “Dear Friend” and “Hi there” need different fallback words.
  • Do not alter the exact syntax of a merge tag.
  • Keep spintax braces balanced.
  • Run the pre-send check; it detects malformed merge tags and unbalanced spintax.
