SMS variables can be used in your automated notifications and automated marketing campaigns to add customized details to your message. All variables are enclosed within square brackets to distinguish them from regular text. These variables also apply to push notifications.

For example, when you send a client the Purchase Receipt SMS notification, the variables [PurchaseItem], [Purchase], [DateDaySms], and [PayMethod] are included by default. The template will replace each of these variables with real information when the notification is generated, creating a customized SMS message.

SMS messages and push notifications have certain character limitations. For more information, see SMS character limitations.

Each automated marketing campaign type has its own SMS variables. For more information, see Automated marketing campaign types.

You can also send customized emails by using email variables. For more information, see Email variables.

Key tips before you begin

An SMS variable won't load properly if any additional text, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code is placed inside of the square brackets of the variable.
If an SMS fails to send for any reason, the variables in the SMS might not populate the client’s information properly. If this occurs, the variable names in square brackets will be displayed.
