How to add a variable to Email/SMS text
Use Email tab to add variables to the email text.
Use SMS tab to add variables to SMS text.
Click the corresponding tab and do the following:
- drag-and-drop the variable from the Available variables section, or
- specify the variable manually using Perl code in <% %> format. For example, if you specify <% $credit_limit %><% $currency %>, the customer’s credit limit value will be shown. Refer to the Notification messages syntax section for more information.
To remove a variable from the text, delete the Perl code.
