Merge tags are short bits of code that allow you to insert unique influencer data and custom links into message templates and other emails.
Using Merge Tags
Merge tags can be inserted into message templates, new messages, canned responses, and replies.
To insert a merge tag, navigate to the desired message template, new message, canned response, or reply, and open the editor. Click the <> icon to open the merge tag menu and select a merge tag to insert.
Placeholders
Note that the default message templates in new campaigns also include placeholders in square brackets which aren't merge tags—e.g. [Insert Brand Name]—and don't change when sent to influencers. Please update all placeholders in square brackets prior to sending message templates.
Outside of Campaigns
Campaign-specific merge tags can't be used in messages sent outside of a campaign. A limited selection of merge tags is available to use in these message types, which include canned responses and new messages from the inbox.
Merge tags are not available when replying to messages in the general inquiries folder.
