Representatives for dynamic content shortcuts

In Mailocator, you can easily dynamically replace or add content using shortcuts, such as pre-filling hidden input, adding text to content from the dataLayer, changing images, and much more.

Adding an email address to a thank you page

Insert %%email%%% anywhere in the text and this shortcode will be replaced with the user's email you just retrieved. This can make the thank you more personal.

Values of the current session

This is useful if you want to send the URL from which the user logged in or made a conversion, for example, to the integrated tool along with the data. These values are replaced between a compound bracket and a cross character, for example [#URL#].

You can easily add the shortcut including the field directly in Editor > Input manager.

Overview of values

Displaying promo codes

Display the obtained promocode (for example in gamification) in the text in place of the {{PROMO_CODE}} abbreviation and its description {{{PROMO_CODE_TEXT}}

DataLayer content

Override the increasingly popular data layer anywhere in the table of contents by enclosing the dataLayer value in square brackets, for example: [[pageType]].

If there are more than one identical object in the dataLayer, the most recently added one is always used.

Data from external APIs

Mailocator allows you to query data from external API and other sources in real time. The returned data must be in a simple JSON structure. Such data can be displayed by enclosing its name between square brackets and a colon, for example [:currentWeather:].

Practical code samples

Everything can be done directly in the editor without having to modify the source code directly.
