Merge tags are powerful tools that dynamically insert personalized information—like names, zip codes, and email addresses—into your message content. We've upgraded this feature to include customizable fallback options for each merge tag, ensuring your messages remain engaging even when specific subscriber data is missing.
Key Enhancements Include:
Custom Fallbacks:
You can now define custom fallbacks for each merge tag, tailored to resonate with your audience. For example, address unknown subscribers as "Supporter," "Donor," or "Team."
Flexible Casing:
Adjust the case of the merge tag to suit its position within a sentence, enhancing the natural flow of your message.
Localized Zip Code Fallbacks:
Personalize messages based on geographic information by setting custom fallbacks like "Your area," or regional identifiers such as "WA supporter" or "NC supporter."
Improved Character Count Logic:
We've refined our character count logic to more accurately reflect the length of messages, considering the longest potential fallback or custom field value:
