**Your software** My Mautic version is: 4.4.7 My PHP version is: 8.0.25 My Database type and version is:10.6.12-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 I have created a DWC element that I want to use in a mail template. How can I retrieve this already existing element in the mail ? I use MJML for the mails, and have a GrapesJS builder. I have tried to retrieve the dynamic content through this element: ```auto Dynamic Content 2 ``` But it does not work. i have also tried this: ```auto {dwc=slotname} ``` But it does not work. ---

Hi, DWC means Dynamic Web content. You can’t use it in emails. You need to use Dynamic Email Content. In code mode: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/0/0930a790bb85059409af058b462c9240ea34c5f1.png) Or through the GUI. ---

There are many ways you can do this. I’m not sure what is inside of your dyn content. Maybe look at this plugin: [https://github.com/Logicify/mautic-advanced-templates-bundle](https://github.com/Logicify/mautic-advanced-templates-bundle) ---

i want to implement salutation for the mails. I have a contactfield “Salutation” and then conditional to this field i should be Hello Mr. or Hello Ms. which way will work with MJML? ---

I’m not sure what are you asking “which way” You can set: If Salutation is “Mr”, then use this dyn content, if it’s “Ms” use the other one. ---

> [@joeyk](#): > > There are many ways you can do this because of your comments up there, I asked which way. I would like to know if it is somehow possible to store the logic for salutation in a central place, and reference to it in each mail to this DC somehow. So a kind of reuse. ---

Okay, I figured you read the documentation of the plugin I mentioned above: [https://github.com/Logicify/mautic-advanced-templates-bundle](https://github.com/Logicify/mautic-advanced-templates-bundle) Or this article mentioning another great plugin: > **[Mautic and the Beauty of the Deutsche Sprache – Joey Keller](https://joeykeller.com/mautic-and-the-beauty-of-the-deutsche-sprache/)** It is there exactly how you can use a generic salutation. ---

okay thanks a lot. Can you please tell me bevor i install the plug in if it is compatible with MJML and GrapesJS Builder for MJML? Here where i work, to install a plug-in for Mautic it is not so easy, because some steps have to be done before the plugin can be installed. ---

I see. I personally tested this one and use it on over 80 installations with grapejs [https://mtcextendee.com/marketplace/twig-templates-for-mautic/](https://mtcextendee.com/marketplace/twig-templates-for-mautic/) The other one is recently forked, I haven’t tested yet, but I think it is compatible.
