Add a merge tag (autofill smart text) to your message template

Merge tags allow you to populate your email and SMS messages with unique data — including customer contact information, booking details, experience details, payment history information, and much more. Once a message is sent, these items autofill with the correct details for the message recipient in question. For example, here is how a Refund Processed message might appear from your Message Template Library vs. how it appears to the message recipient:

Message as seen from your Message Template Library

Message as seen from the recipient's point of view

Add pre-header content to your message template

A message template pre-header appears to the message recipient from their email inbox. It is intended to act as a concise, contextual preview of the message's content.

2. Insert the desired content into the Pre-Header text field. Note that you can insert merge tags as desired.
   
   
3. Save your changes.

Assign the message template to a different category

Each template in your Message Template Library is assigned to a unique category. A template's assigned category impacts the automations available for use for that template.

For instance, if you have a "waiver signed" message template in your library, but it is assigned to the User Defined Message category, you will not have the option to automatically send that message to customers as they submit their electronically signed waivers. By assigning the template to the correct category (in this case, the Waiver Signed category), you make it possible to enable the corresponding auto-send settings.
