Frequently Asked Questions
1

Hi there

Running Win 11 emc v 10.2.1712.0 and cant seem to find any reference/support on how to use placeholders or variables either in the email itself or as part of a quicktext

where should the data that is used to populate the placeholder stored and how should it be formatted?

Thanks

Jamie

Click on 3 dots on the right and select Insert placeholder when editing a Quicktext.

Thank you. I can add the placeholder itself, I just can’t find where the content is that replaces the the placeholder itself. So for example {{name}} where is the quick text pulling the name From?

Also, what triggers the insertion? Is it clicking send or is there another step?

Placeholders are menat to be replaced before you send the email by yourself (manually). The thing you are probably looking for are variables, these are filled automatically (Insert Variable is in the same menu).

Ah OK. Understood re placeholders. So with the variables where is that data stored/edited?
