Want to add a personal touch to your broadcasts and campaigns? With Podia, you can include your subscriber's name in any email you send!
Adding name personalization to your emails
To add a name variable to your emails, type @ into any email's text area and select what you'd like to use: Name (full name), First Name, or Last name.
You can also click on the name variable token to configure your name placeholder: a term to refer to recipients who signed up without a name.
Please note: Name variables may not function correctly during a test email preview.
Test emails are primarily designed to preview the layout of your emails and not to showcase full functionality.
