In Personizely's widget's text and personalizations, you can use dynamic text content to make the content even more relevant.

There are 4 types of placeholders now:

The placeholders have the following format: {type.property or 'fallback text'}

The properties are going to be described below, while the fallback text stands for the text in case the property value is null.

You can use placeholders to show visitors' properties right in the text of your widgets or personalized regions. Here's the list of the placeholders:



This placeholder has the following format: {visitor.property or 'fallback'} - with fallback {visitor.property} - without fallback

For custom fields use the following format: {visitor.customField[id] or 'fallback'} - with fallback {visitor.customField[id]} - without fallback

Where id is the numeric id of the custom field which you can find in Settings -> Custom Fields

Examples: {visitor.firstName} - for showing the visitor's first name {visitor.customField[1]} - for showing the value of the custom field with id 1

You can extract text from the url query string parameters to show them in the personalization text. This works really great with ads where you can place the keyword inside the query string.

So if the URL is https://site.com/?ref=Friend, it will evaluate to Friend
