Code in emails

This guide is still super rough, but we wanted to get it out there while we keep working on it.

Get in touch with your questions or issues.

Interpolations

Insert this string between curly braces, eg. {{interpolation_key}} or {{global.some_key}} or {{field.some_key}}.

  • field_(id)_(subfield) for each custom field and subfield
  • global.(key) for each global snippet

Liquid objects available

  • customer: Contact object
  • field: Contact custom fields object
  • global: Global snippets object

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.
