Personalized Fields in Emails
What are Personalizations?
Personalizations allow you to pull information from fields in your Contact Detail into your Paminga email, allowing you to customize or “personalize” your message. For example, if you wish to open your email with “Dear First Name” you can leverage personalizations to do so. You can also use personalizations to add an Unsubscribe link and Business address to your emails, which is required for compliance purposes.
How to Add Personalization to Your Emails
You can add personalizations to emails by leveraging Paminga personalized fields. Both standard and custom fields are able to be used for this!
When you are editing a **text block, **you will see there is an option for “Personalized Fields”. Select the field in which you want to leverage.;
Upon selecting your standard, or custom field, you will also be prompted to input a default value, for any contact who does not have a set value for the field selected. We have provided a default value for you, however, change this to whatever you would like!;

Personalized Fields Syntax
The syntax of personalized fields must match exactly what is below:

If any customization is being done to the HTML of an email, please ensure that all personalized fields are correctly set up after the customizations have been made.
Image Paths
Add personalization to your emails by adding the headshot of the Lead Owner of your customer to your emails.
To do this upload an image of your Sales Member to the File Manager.;
You can even create a folder to keep these organized for you!
Select the image path to your image by right-clicking and selecting Copy Link.;
Within the email builder, use a code block or edit the source code to enter the image path.

We recommend for default value using an image of your company logo.
