Scope

A list of the available tokens and their uses.

What are Tokens?

  • Tokens – or merge fields - personalise your messages by automatically including information unique to each recipient.

  • They allow you to send messages containing personal information in bulk without needing to create and send each one indivually.

  • They can be used in SMS, Xpressions, emails, and letters.

  • You can upload your own tokens and use tokens for mail merge. Read our guides for further information: Messenger: Upload Custom Merge Fields / Messenger: Send Merge Documents.
