Incorporating Custom Values into Emails

Personalizing emails is made easy by inserting custom values derived from customer information gathered through forms, surveys, or appointment schedules. To add a custom value, click the "+" icon at the bottom of the message box.

After clicking, a list of available custom values will be displayed. Select the desired value, and it will automatically be inserted into your email. When sent, the placeholder will be replaced with the corresponding customer information. If the custom value field is blank in your CRM, no information will be displayed. You can configure custom values in the CRM's "Settings" section by navigating to "Custom Values."
