Special cases:

Facebook URL fields, telephone fields, and Twitter handle fields all ordinarily output an HTML link. In these cases you will follow the format below:

  • URL fields: (note the spacing between text and brackets and the "_plain" at the end of the key)

Liquid objects available

  • customer: Contact object
  • field: Contact custom fields object
  • global: Global snippets object
  • internal_name: course, product, site, group and worksheet

Global snippets

If you insert a global snippet using {{global.some_key}}, these will be replaced as the very first thing while processing the email.

This means that your snippet can contain other interpolations, or even Liquid code, and those will be evaluated in the exact same way as if you'd typed the contents of your global snippet directly into the email itself.

However, if it contains another global snippet, then that won't be replaced in the same way again. It will work, but it'll be interpreted as a Liquid expression.

Also, if you use the global snippet in a Liquid expression, eg. {{ global.some_key | upcase }}, then we will NOT be evaluating any other interpolations or Liquid code inside that global snippet.magic links  content link dynamic link purchase link payment link purchase url
