Adding Dynamic Content with Personalization Tags
Add dynamic and personalized content to your emails using personalization tags. With personalization tags, you can easily insert details such as the customer’s name, your store’s address, or a discount code directly into your email’s subject line, preview text, or body.
In this article, you’ll learn how to add personalization tags to emails.
How it works
Personalization tags are predefined bits of code that you add to your emails. When your campaign is sent out, the personalization tags get replaced with real data. The data for personalization tags will be pulled from various sources, depending on the tag. This may include customer details, Shopify store information, any integrations you have, Yotpo Email settings, or other Yotpo apps connected to your store.
To add a personal touch to your email, you can use the First name personalization tag, for example, in the email subject.
Tip:
By using personalization tags in your email templates, you ensure that content remains dynamic and automatically updated across all future campaigns. This means that any changes, like updating your store’s address, are instantly reflected in all your scheduled campaigns and templates without the need for manual revisions.
