Using merge tags in the HTML editor

Tag

When using the HTML email editor in Campaigns, you can insert merge tags into your email to pull in Sandstorm property data for your recipient.

Insert the code below:

<span data-merge-field-property="my property">will be replaced</span>

For example:

<span data-merge-field-property="First Name">will be replaced</span>

We will pull in the current value for the property ‘First Name’. If a recipient does not have that property set, we will not do anything.

‘My Property’ should be replaced with the Unique Identifier for the property you want to use. We will pull in the current value of that property for the recipient of the email.

Default Value

You can choose to insert a ‘default value’ if your recipient does not have the property set. This will show up in place of the current property value if the recipient does not have that property.

Replace the ‘default value’ in the code below with what you would want to show instead:

<span data-merge-field-property="my property" data-merge-field-default="default value">will be replaced</span>

For example:

<span data-merge-field-property="First Name" data-merge-field-default="there">will be replaced</span>

‘there’ will show up instead of First Name if the user does not have a value for that property.
