Default Email Merge Fields

Merge fields are a great way to easily customise email templates to give your campaign a personal touch. 

Adding Merge Fields to a Message 

It's handy to know the standard merge fields and what they mean, however adding the merge fields within the message has never been easier! Simply type # into the message editor, start typing the merge field you'd like to pull the data for, and select it from the drop-down list to the right.

Below are the standard email merge fields that can be used across all Raisely campaigns:

Donation Variables

• donation.createdAt The full date string of the donation date in UTC
• donation.id The transaction ID of the donation
  (useful for receipt numbers)
• donation.amount The total donation amount
  ( excluding the Raisely fee if the donor opted-in)
• donation.total The total donation amount
  ( including the Raisely fee if the donor opted-in)
• donation.fee The total Raisely fee if the donor opted-in
• donation.currency The donor's currency
• donation.currencySymbol The donor's currency symbol
  (e.g., $, £, or €)

  (e.g., The #{{subscription.schedule}} for a monthly donation will show 1 MONTH )
• subscription.currency The regular donation's currency
• subscription.currencySymbol The regular donation's currency symbol

📝 Note: remember to surround the fields with curly brackets in your template, like this: {{dataType.fieldId}}

Anonymous Donations

To prevent accidentally revealing the details of a private donor, emails automatically anonymise this information.

But if you want to show those details (say, when you're sending an email to the donor themselves), you can use reveal:

<code>Thank you {{reveal donation.firstName}} for your donation!
