What are variables and how to use them?

Variables (sometimes called custom fields) are placeholders you insert into your message that get replaced with personalized data for each contact. Here’s how they work:

  • When you import contacts, include columns beyond just “Phone Number” (for example “Name”, “Amount”, “City”).
  • During message composition, insert placeholders using the format {{ColumnName}}. For example: {{Name}}, {{City}}.
  • Send Blaster Pro matches the placeholder to the corresponding column for each contact.
  • If a contact record lacks a value for a particular column, omit that placeholder for that contact.
  • Use variables to tailor messages: “Hello {{Name}}, your appointment in {{City}} is confirmed for {{Date}}.”

By leveraging variables correctly you can significantly increase engagement and relevance in your campaigns.
