Lists

If you have set up mail merge fields for your recipients in a list (see 'Destinations' section), you can swap each entry for a number, in braces (curly brackets), to merge those fields with your message.

e.g. if you have set up the following entries in the 'To' field (Destinations tab):

12912345678,John,Smith

12912345679,Samantha,Jones

and you want each individual SMS to read:

Hello "Firstname" "Lastname" welcome to the club.

your message text should look like this:

Hello {2} {3} welcome to the club.

Each new comma-separated entry can be swapped for its numerical equivalent:

12912345678,     John,     Smith

        {1}           {2}      {3}

Contacts

When you set up a Contact, there are a number of fields where you can store various pieces of personal information (e.g. First Name, Last Name, Phone, Email, etc).

If your message destination is one or more contacts, these fields can be mapped into a message using special variables ('$' + field name).

e.g. if you want each individual message to read:

Hello "First Name" "Last Name", we are confirming that your phone number is "Phone Number" and your email address is Email.

your message should look like this:

Hello {1} {2}, we are confirming that your home phone number is {3} and your email address is {4}.

The end message will look something like this on the recipient's handset:

Not all contact fields can be mapped - the available options are listed below:

•{1} represents First Name

•{2} represents Last Name

•{3} represents Phone Number / Mobile Number

•{4} represents Email

Other variables you may use are :

•$address - Note: maps 'Work' street address from contact details

•$city

•$country

•$postcode

•$fax

Make sure these variables are part of the list User's upload. Use the right column number ( {5}, {6} etc. )
