Background: I try to setup some SMS related stuff. I create contacts with SMS numbers, but they have no email. Thus appear as anonymous, which they aren’t.
I know I can use today as a variable for day fields. What other variables are you aware of? Wonder if there is a way to reference other fiels, so I could for instance write {mobile}@domain.com as a placeholder into the email field via the campaign.
Are you aware of variables, that may be useful to generate something unique in this case?
I’m running into a situation where I would also like to be able to use variables to update custom fields from within a campaign. Is this possible yet? Also is it possible to generate a random value in a field? My use case here is for creating coupon codes.
Thanks.
Hi,
yes you can update custom fields from a campaign, but… for exactly this situation (coupon codes) we didn’t find any way to use native functions to generate them on the fly of to pull from a list of coupon codes available.
We used lowcode (Marketing Automation with Low Code - twentyZEN) to request (webhook) and get send a coupon code via API into the custom field.
For mailings to a given number of recipients we also imported unique coupon codes into the custom fields of those segment contacts.
But can you use variables in custom fields?
No dice. Also needed it in the past. But its not supported.
