How can I insert custom tags into my email?

Newsberry supports a wide range of custom tags that can be inserted into your campaign content. The details and usage of these tags can be found on Step 3: Add content of the Create and Send process. Above the form there is a small link labeled view custom tags.





When clicking on this link, a list of options are displayed explaining how tags can be used in campaigns. Each tag has a similar format. The name of the tag is surrounded in brackets [ ] and is spelled in ALL CAPS. If you are creating HTML emails, these links should be wrapped in HTML link code.

Here are the tags that Newsberry currently supports

[ONLINE VERSION]

[NAME]
This tag will insert the subscriber's name where it is placed.

[EMAIL]

Custom field tags

If you have setup custom fields in your list, each field can be used to retrieve data about the subscriber. For instance, if you added a field for city for each subscriber in your list you can insert the tag [CITY] in your email. This will be converted to the city for that subscriber (Chicago, for example).

This method can be repeated for any custom fields. Just insert the name of the field in ALL CAPS and between brackets [ ]. The data for that subscriber will be inserted into the content. This can be useful when sending targeted emails. It allows you to customize content for each user based on the data you have in the system.
