Question 1

Data placeholders and keyword replacement reference

Accepted Answer

In Personizely's widget's text and personalizations you can use dynamic text content to make the content even more relevant.

There are 4 types of placeholders now:

Visitor properties
Querystring parameters
Javascript variables
Datetime placeholders

The placeholders have the following format: {type.property or 'fallback text'}

The properties are going to be described below, while the fallback text stands for the text in case if the property value is null.

Visitor properties

You can use placeholders to show visitor's properties right in the text of your widgets or personalized regions. Here's the list of the placeholders:

firstName
lastName
phone
email
bio
companyName
companyTitle
country (country code)
countryName
region
city

This placeholder has the following format: {visitor.property or 'fallback'} - with fallback {visitor.property} - without fallback

For custom fields use the following format: {visitor.customField[id] or 'fallback'} - with fallback {visitor.customField[id]} - without fallback

Where id is the numeric id of the custom field which you can find in Settings -> Custom Fields

Examples: {visitor.countryName or 'your area'} - for showing visitor country or fallback to 'your area' in case it couldn't be detected {visitor.firstName} - for showing visitor's first name {visitor.customField[1]} - for showing the value of the custom field with id 1

Querystring parameters
