How To Use Personalization Tags
Personalization tags let you display dynamic information across the entire platform – on your website, funnels, circles, or emails. Instead of showing the same static text to everyone, tags help you create a more personal and engaging experience for each visitor or member.
You can find the personalization tags under website settings > parsonalization tags.
💡 For example, you can greet a logged-in user by name:
Hi {member.first_name}, welcome back!
Why Use Personalization Tags?
- Build trust: Customers feel more welcome when addressed by name.
- Increase engagement: Personalized pages and emails get more attention.
- Save time: Automatically insert user data instead of typing it manually.
- Make content smarter: Show different info depending on who is visiting.
Built-in Personalization Tags
Recrevio comes with several tags ready to use:
- Member’s first name →
{member.first_name}- Shows the logged-in member’s first name.
- Member’s last name →
{member.last_name}- Shows the logged-in member’s last name.
- Member’s email →
{member.email}- Displays the logged-in member’s email address.
- Current year →
{current_year}- Automatically shows the current year.
- URL parameter →
{param.name}- Displays the value of a URL parameter.
- Example: A link like
https://mysite.com/?first_name=Davidcan display “Hello David!” if you use{param.first_name}. See more details on how to use URL parameters in Recrevio here.
💡 Practical Examples
Welcome message on a member page:
- Welcome back, {member.first_name}!
Personalized email subject line:
- {member.first_name}, don’t miss your special offer!
Dynamic footer:
- © {current_year} {company_name} – All rights reserved.
URL-based campaign:
- A campaign email links to
mysite.com/?first_name=David→ On the page, it says “Welcome David, here’s your special deal.”
⚠️ URL parameters are case-sensitive, and spaces must be replaced with _ .
Custom Tags
You can also create your own personalization tags. This is useful if you want to reuse specific information across your site.
It's easily done:
- Click the Add Personalization Tag button.
- Giving it a name (and an optional description) and click Save.
- Once it's saved you can add the value you want to display whenever the personalization tag is used.
💡 Example use cases:
{company.phone}→ Show your company phone number everywhere, and update it once in settings if it changes.{event.date}→ Show the date of an upcoming event on multiple pages.{offer.code}→ Insert a campaign discount code automatically.
Best Practices
- Use personalization sparingly – too much can feel forced.
- Always test your tags to ensure they display correctly.
- Combine with automation for a smooth customer journey (e.g., send an email with a link that passes their first name as a URL parameter).
