What are Merge Fields?

Merge Fields auto-populate information from the Booking, Events, and Group into an email or document.

Merge fields are snippets of text between curly brackets (e.g. {{Contact.FirstName}}) that are automatically replaced by their corresponding values coming from each specific field. This allows you to write your templates, giving them a standard layout/structure, while having them be personalized for each client/account.


Default Merge Fields Available

  • Client - Customer Contact information. Ex. Customer’s First Name, etc.

  • Account - Account Contact Information. Ex. Account Name, Account Address, etc.

  • Booking - Booking Information. Ex Booking Name, Booking Dates, etc.

  • User - Your Information. Ex. Your Name, Email, etc.

  • Organization - Your Property’s Information. Ex. Venue/Hotel Name, Address, etc.

  • Group - Information on the Group - Ex. Arrival Date, Departure Date, etc.

  • Event - Information on the Event - Ex. Event Space, Time, Date, etc.

  • Invoice - Information on the Invoice - Ex. Invoice Total, Amount Due, etc.
