Personalisation tokens are an easy way to personalise the content you send to parents. They work by inserting parent-specific details into the body of your notice, such as their name, phone number, or email.

Here's a short example of using a personalisation token:

Hi {{ app_first_name }}, please find attached our latest newsletter.

If the name you have registered on the app is "James" for example, the above message would read like this:

Hi James, please find attached our latest newsletter.


The following personalisation tokens can be used in the content (body) field of the notice:

Name of School Stream profile (your school name)

{{ profile_name }}

First name of app account user

{{ app_first_name }}

Last name of app account user

{{ app_last_name }}

A combination of the first and last name of app account user

{{ app_display_name }}

Email of app account user

{{ app_email }}

Phone # of of app account user

{{ app_phone }}

Profile icon (at size uploaded to media library)

{{ profile_icon_img }}

These personalisation tokens can be used in the summary and/or title fields of the notice. For definitions, see the list above.

{{ profile_name }}

{{ app_first_name }}

{{ app_last_name }}

{{ app_display_name }}


Note:

  • The personalisation codes will not appear in the push notifications, only when opening the notice.

  • Phone number (app_phone) will not display when a notice is sent as an email.

Advanced tags

Profile Icon URL (For advanced use)

{{ profile_icon_url }}

Usage: <img src="https://{{ profile_icon_url }}" height="32" width="32">

Note: You need to add https:// before the code when using in HTML links or images to prevent safe URL overwriting

Note: When using in HTML code in the body of the notice, you need to be working in Text mode.
