Personalizing Transaction Emails with Merge Variables or 'Blobs'

Customizing your Transaction Emails to pull in specific pieces of data

Personalizing Content with Merge Variables (or 'Blobs')

Variables (or 'blobs') can be included in Commerce7 transaction emails. These variables will pull in different content based on the customer that the email is being sent to.

  • Example:
    If you add 'Hello {{customer.firstName}}' to a transactional email, the system will replace the tag and auto-populate it with that Customer's first name, i.e., 'Hello John'.  

The following variables are used in Transaction Emails only. For campaign emails, it's recommended that you enter your actual phone and email, rather than using a variable. 


General Variables

These tags can be included in any transaction email. 

  • {{settings.url}}
  • {{settings.logo}}
  • {{settings.primaryPhone}}
  • {{settings.primaryEmail}}
  • {{settings.companyName}}
  • {{customer.firstName}}
  •  {{customer.lastName}}
  • {{meta.fieldname}}
    Replace "fieldname" with the name of the Customer Meta Data field. More info

Specific Variables

These variables correspond to specific content and can only be used in particular types of emails.

Example: Reservation variables cannot be used in Club emails. As the email is specifically related to a Club Shipment, it will not recognize the Reservation tag and will be unable to retrieve any relevant information.
