Creating Merge Tags
Custom merge tags are tags that will be replaced with a specific value every time they are used in emails or SMS. You can create custom merge tags to automatically pull in values you regularly use, like your personal email or your facility's slogan.
To access your merge tags, click on the CRM icon and then select Merge Tags.
Here you can see all of your current merge tags.
To create a new merge tag, click on the Add a New Merge Tag button.
The Name field is where you will create the tag. The tag is what you will use in messages and it will later be replaced by the value.
When creating the tag name, make sure to put 1 percentage symbol before and after the name and don't use any spaces or special characters, i.e. %PERSONALEMAIL%.
The Value field is where you will type what value the tag will be replaced with. If this tag was used in an agreement, %PERSONALEMAIL% would be replaced with madison@movewithpulse.com when a contact is actually sent a message including this tag.
Once your merge tag is ready to go, click on the blue Create button.
