Hello there, Saleshandy users! 👋

Are you ready to take your email game to the next level? 📧✨ Let me introduce you to the power of Merge Tags! 🎯

Merge tags are placeholders or variables representing your CSV file's contact data. Whether it's their first name, last name, company, or any other information you have. Merge Tags allow you to customize your emails using this valuable contact data. 📝🎯

Imagine being able to tailor your emails specifically to each recipient, adding that personalized touch that makes a lasting impact. By dynamically inserting specific text areas into your email content, you can craft messages that speak directly to your reader's interests, needs, and preferences. 📝🎯

With Merge tags, you have the opportunity to enhance your copywriting and connect with your leads on a whole new level. 💪🤝

Saleshandy comes equipped with the essential merge tags right out of the box. But guess what? You have the freedom to spice things up even more by adding as many merge tags as your heart desires. How cool is that? 😎

Just a heads up: merge tags are case-sensitive, which means that "{{hi}}" is not the same as "{{HI}}." It may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in your email personalization.

E.g.:

✅{{Last Name}} / ❌{{ Last Name }}

✅{{Last Name}} / ❌{{ LastName }}

⚠️Note: Always check that the braces are correctly opened and closed. When you're importing and matching multiple merge tags from different columns of your CSV file, it's crucial to ensure that the name of each merge tag matches what you've set in the first row of the CSV. If you send a test Email,, the merge tags will pick random data for any prospects from the CSV file you uploaded. We have not set any default Merge Tag.

Mission accomplished; you've successfully added Merge Tags. 👏

Custom Merge Tags will be at the bottom of the drop-down once you've scrolled till the end. To learn more about Custom Merge Tags, you can click here.

You can use all the system fields as merge tags. However, you can also create custom fields and use them as merge tags.

You can also create a Custom Merge Tag as well. To learn more about how to create Custom Merge Tags, click here.

Custom merge tags are like magic placeholders in your email templates ✨. They let you add personalized or specific information to your messages, making them tailored to each recipient. 📧

Custom merge tags are super helpful when you want to include unique details in your emails. While standard merge tags cover basics like first name or email address, custom merge tags let you go beyond. You can add custom fields like customer IDs, account numbers, or any other data points specific to your business. 📝

With custom merge tags, you have the power to adapt your templates to different scenarios or target specific groups. Whether it's a campaign, event, or promotion, you can create merge tags that suit the context and purpose. 🎯

Custom merge tags make your emails more personalized, efficient, and adaptable. You'll deliver relevant and engaging content to each recipient, creating a better connection. 💌

So go ahead and unleash the power of custom merge tags to level up your email game! 💪

1️⃣ Log into your SalesHandy account, navigate to the settings tab, and click the Prospect Fields tab.

2️⃣ Click on Add Prospect Fields, and create the Custom Field.

3️⃣ From the pop-up, Enter the Field Name, Field Type, and Fallback Text (Optional), and then click on Save.

Field Name: The field name refers to the specific name or label assigned to a data field or column in a dataset or CSV File. It is used to identify and differentiate different types of information within the dataset. 😀

Field Type: The field type refers to categorizing or classifying a data field based on the type of data it represents. It determines the format and constraints applied to the data within that field. Saleshandy has two common field types😊

⚠️Please be cautious about duplicate fields, which often occur with default fields.

Fallback Text: Fallback Text is used to place a fixed value to a custom field (variable) when a particular value for the custom field is missing for any prospect. To learn more about Fallback Text, Click here.😀

Once you have created your desired custom fields, adding them to your sequence is very easy.

Follow these steps:

When the sequence sends the emails, the system automatically picks the data for each contact from the uploaded file and sends personalized emails to each prospect.

Fallback Text is used to place a fixed value to a custom field (variable) when a particular value for the custom field is missing for any prospect.😀

Suppose you upload a CSV file to import prospects, and the file is missing some attributes for some of the prospects (As shown below):

Using a fallback text, you can set up a default value for each custom field where the Company Name and Phone were missing for any prospect.😊

In another way, think of the fallback text as a helpful assistant that supports:

Dynamic Content: In situations where personalized or specific data is temporarily inaccessible, Fallback text serves as a practical placeholder, offering a generic but meaningful representation of the intended content.😄

For Example:

For some of your contacts, the First Name is empty, it'll display 👇

It doesn't look good, and your contacts may feel like the email is automated.🥺

👉 That's why you can add a fallback text which will be used if the custom field is empty.

In Saleshandy, it'll look like this:

Fallback Text Format: {{custom field | fallback}}, where the custom field is First Name, and the fallback is 'Friend'😊.

If the First Name is empty, it'll then display:

Example:

NOTE: If there is missing data for a prospect for any of the custom fields and you don't set up fallback text for that custom field, the system won't add blank space or ##{{custom_field}} in the email content.

Mission accomplished; you've successfully added Fallback Text. 👏

Wishing you a delightful experience! ❤️

Happy Selling. 🤝

Warmest regards,

Saleshandy Team
