Personal Information¶

The following can be inserted into an email to verify someone’s personal information, or can be used in confirmations, such as Donation Confirmation emails.

The recipient’s title

{name}

First and Last Name of recipient

{first}

First Name of recipient or preferred name if there is one

{last}

Last Name of recipient

Texting: Opt-In

{peopleid}

Displays the person’s PeopleId Number.

{birthdate}

Displays the person’s full date of birth - month, day, year.

{firstorjoint}

How this works is dependent on the Contribution Type of the individuals. It will use the person’s first name if the person has a Contribution Type of Individual. It will use the two Primary Adults’ first names (John & Mary) if the couple each has a Contribution Type of Joint.

If both spouses are included in the recipient list, they will each get the email addressed to both of them (John & Mary) if they give jointly. You can filter out one spouse by adding the Condition “Is Head of Household” = true, then the husband will receive the email addressed to both of them.

If you add that Condition and you have couples that give individually the email will go only to the HOH and will be addressed only to him/her.

Just think how you want to use this and create your searches accordingly.

{altname}

Alt Name of recipient

{statementtype}

Replacements for Members of a Division¶

The following {orgmember:...} replacements take a required divid parameter, where you enter a Division ID# where you see divid. The value returned in the email will be the specified value from the first organization in the specified division (divid) in which the person is a member.

{orgmember:location,divid}

Organization Location—from the Location in the organization Settings > General tab

Involvement in an Organization¶

Drop From Org

This is not in the normal form of an email replacement code, but it does function like one and can be used when emailing to an individual, a Tag, Search Builder results or an org. When the text below is inserted into any email, the link allows the recipient to drop himself from the organization indicated by the ID# in the code. Enter the actual Org ID# in place of the 242 you see below. 242 is the sample Org ID#. The recipient sees only the text that you see on line 2 below. You can edit it to say whatever you want. The code itself will not display the name of the org, so you will either want to put that in the statement in place of ‘this org’ or put another statement in the email so they understand which org they will be dropped from.

<dropfromorg id="242">

Click here to be removed from this org.

</dropfromorg>

Pledge Replacements¶

These replacements can be put in an email to anyone in your database to indicate the amount of a pledge to a specific fund and the balance left before they meet their pledge. If the person does not have a pledge, the pledge amount will show as $0.00. If they have given toward that fund, but not made a pledge the balance amount will show $0.00. If they have given more than their pledge, the balance amount will be the overage amount preceded by a minus (“-“). Because you may have multiple pledge funds, you indicate the fund ID in the replacement code.

{pledgeamt:100}

Where 100 is the fund id. Shows amount of pledge made for that fund.

{pledgebal:100}

Where 100 is the fund id. Shows balance due based on pledge for that fund.
