Step 3: Use Placeholders for Personalization

Use the list of available Workspace Placeholders and Contact Placeholders to dynamically personalize the opt-out form fields.

To insert a placeholder:

1. Click into the form field where you want the placeholder to appear (for example, the Form Body field).

2. Scroll through the available list to find the placeholder you want to use, and click on it.

3. The selected placeholder will be automatically inserted into the active field.

Tip

To view more placeholders, hover your mouse over the placeholder list area and scroll down using your mouse wheel.

Using placeholders allows you to display personalized details, such as the recipient’s masked phone number or your workspace name, enhancing the opt-out form experience.
