Merge Codes
Description
Merge codes make messages more personal and help you get more done in less time. Instead of writing out a name, email address, job title, or other information already in PivotCX, you can type a merge code, and PivotCX will automatically expand it.
Example
$title will be expanded to the Active Apply's job title.
Typing $title takes a lot less time than typing "Principal Architectural Kotlin Developer."
You can save even more time - if you press space after a few characters, PivotCX will insert the best matching merge code.
Advanced Usage
You can insert variables into PivotCX messages and templates like this:
Hi $firstname(there)! You are from $city(somewhere), Correct?This will create a message that looks like this for a contact named John from San Francisco:
Hi John! You are from San Francisco, Correct?
If we don't know the contact's name or city, it will create a message that looks like this:
Hi there! You are from somewhere, Correct?Template Variables
Here are all the variables you can use in messages and templates:
