Profile variables can be added to the content sections of any Email Sequences to attribute a variable element to your email content, personalise a campaign and drive engagement through the Email Sequences product.
How to insert a variable
To insert a variable, head to your Salesfire Dashboard and select Email Sequences.
Within your Email Sequences dashboard, you will find your campaigns created and the ability to create any new campaigns.
- In the body of your email campaign hover over text and select the edit icon.
- In the Content section you will find the X Variable Value icon, select the icon to begin adding a profile variable to the content of your email.
- The pop out module will reveal the profile attribute dropdown with a pre-defined list of options that can be used to personalise your email content:
- Name - the naming convention gathered from a profile on site to personalise within an email send.
- First name - the first name gathered to send a personalised email with this contained in the email contents.
- Last name - the last name gathered to send a personalised email with this contained in the email contents.
- Email - add the email address profiled to the contents of an email upon sending.
- Mobile number - add the mobile number collected to a content section as required.
- Checkout URL - add the checkout URL to the contents of an email to provide a consistent checkout URL for the Return to Basket call to action button in emails or use in the contents of an email.
- Select the profile attribute required for your email, we recommend adding default text in case no profile attributes can be found on sending the email.
Default text can usually be a word that can conveniently replace the variable if it cannot be found. For example replacing NAME with a default word ‘hello’.
- Once you have selected the profile variable select Insert Variable.
Once you have added a profile variable to your email and are happy with the content, select Save Email to update any overall changes made to your individual campaign.
