Overview
Merge tags are placeholders that will automatically fill in the information at the time the message is sent.
For example, if you email your leads Frasier, Martin, and Niles with a mass email that begins with: "Hello, {first_name}" Then each recipient will see their name when they receive the message.
Frasier will see 'Hello, Frasier', Martin will see 'Hello, Martin' and so on.
All of the merge tags pertain to the most direct information. For example, {lender_first_name} is the Lender that contact is shared with. The only variable for merge tags has to do with listings. If you want to insert info about a listing, you need to give the MLS ID of that listing so it knows which property to show the info for.
Supported Merge Tags

Adding Merge Tags with the Basic Editor
To add a merge tag with the Basic Editor click the little sun icon to populate the available merge tags.
Adding Merge Tags with the Advanced Editor
To add text to an email, you'll first drag a text box from the content on the right side. Once the text box is available and you begin typing, the editing controls will appear. Hover over 'merge tags' and select the one that fits!
Smart Assistant
The Smart Assistant will automatically generate emails and text messages with applicable merge tags included, depending on the prompt you select.
While the system does its best to ensure accuracy, merge tags generated by the Smart Assistant may occasionally fill in incorrect information. You may see one or more of the following results within your generated email or text message after a prompt has been selected:
A merge tag that uses regular brackets [ ] instead of the curly { } brackets required for the system to fill in the requested information automatically. For example, [listing_address] may appear instead of {listing_address}.
A merge tag that does not exist may appear in your message. For example, {agent_phone} is an invalid merge tag. The correct options would be one of the following: {agent_cell_phone}, {smart_number}, or {agent_primary_call}.
TIP: As a best practice, you'll want to check over the content of the message Smart Assistant generates before sending it to make sure your email or text reflects the spirit of what you want to communicate.
