Using Variables in your emails

You can include Variable in your messages. A variable is a keyword which is substituted with an automatic value specific to each recipient, when the message is sent.  
For example, when you use the %%USER_FULLNAME%% variable, each message contains the learner’s full name.

Note: 
Do not use variable in the Subject line of a message.  
Variables in the subject will not be assigned a value, and the recipient will see the raw keyword text.


Supported Variables

You can use the following variabls in your messages:

  • %%USER_ID%% – the anonymous learner ID of the message recipient  

  • %%USER_FULLNAME%% – the full name of the message recipient  

  • %%COURSE_DISPLAY_NAME%% – the display name of the course  

  • %%COURSE_END_DATE%% – the end date of the course  


Variable Formatting

You format variables using double percent symbols: %%Variable%%.  
Variables can be used inside any HTML tags in an email message. Here’s an example:

<h2>%%COURSE_DISPLAY_NAME%% Updates</h2> <p>Dear %%USER_FULLNAME%%, this is a reminder that the last day of the course    is <b>%%COURSE_END_DATE%%</b></p>
