☝️ Please note these variables only work on Transactional emails. Your Automated Journeys and Campaigns have a different set of variables as they function differently to transactional email. Refer to our article about the two databases we have for your account if you'd like a deeper understanding of 'why'.
---
Personalise your emails withs data specific to the receiving client
Your variables for transactional emails differ slightly to those used in Automations and Campaigns. This is because Transactional emails are typically triggered by a specific appointment, so the variables will be pulling in information from the actual appointment or triggering event that caused the email to send - rather than 'general' information about the recipient.
