Merge Tags
This is only a guide and each email type has unique merge tags.
You can find a list of available merge tags in the email campaign editor.
You can use email tags (also known as merge tags) to display dynamic and personalized content in your emails and success messages.
This guide shows you how to personalize your emails and success messages using merge tags.
What is a Merge Tag?
A merge tag is a placeholder that allows you to personalize email campaigns and confirmation messages. Merge tags are also known as personalization fields or personalization tags.
Noptin merge tags are usually enclosed between two opening square brackets ([[) and two closing square brackets (]]).
For example,
Each subscriber has a unique email address. When you include the [[email]] merge tag in your email campaigns, each subscriber receives an email with the merge tag replaced by the subscriber’s actual email.
Where Can You Use Merge Tags?
You can use merge tags in the success messages shown to users after they subscribe to your newsletter,
… the confirmation messages shown to subscribers who confirm their email addresses, unsubscribe from your newsletter, or re-subscribe to your newsletter,
