How can I customize my workflow action template with placeholders?

Every customer is unique, so it's only natural that you'd want to tailor your communications through email, WhatsApp and SMS. To do that you first need to understand what is a placeholder.

What is a placeholder?

You've probably noticed that there is always that bracket with some text in it when you are using the action templates. These are placeholders, and they auto-fill whatever is between the brackets.

List of Placeholders

Here is a list of the placeholders that Peakflo supports (please watch out for the capitalizations - if not spelled properly, the placeholders will be marked as incorrect tags!)

Customer Information

{{recipientName}} - Full recipient name (e.g. Bruce Wayne).

{{recipientFirstName}} - First name (e.g. Bruce).

{{customerCompanyName}} - Payer company name.
{{payerCustomField.CUSTENTITY_OPERATOR_ID}} - Custom fields for the customer details.

To find the CUSTENTITY_OPERATOR_ID, please go to "Settings", and click on "Custom Fields" and the ID of the custom field is listed right under the custom field name.

How do you use them?

I've got two magic words for you: copy/paste. This is going to save you time and make sure there are no typos.

 

Let's look at one of our templates:

Dear {{recipientName}},

 

Just a friendly reminder that invoice {{invoiceNumber}} for {{invoiceAmountDue}} is due today. Please click on the following link to view all pending invoices.

 

Enjoy your day!

{{myOrgName}}

But maybe you want to be sterner and provide more info? Copy-paste the correct placeholder and insert it into your new custom email:

 

Dear {{recipientName}},
 
Your invoice {{invoiceNumber}} was due on {{invoiceDueDate}}. Because your balance of {{totalAmountOverdue}} was not paid within the given time frame, we have escalated the invoice to our legal team.
 
Please click on the following link to view the Legal Escalation Report filed by our Legal Team.
 
Best,
{{myOrgName}}

 

What if you want to hyperlink a selected text?

Just type the phrase you want to link, like "Click Here" or "Escalate Now," highlight it with your your mouse and click the link icon in the the editor.

Untitled (2)

Next, type or paste the necessary URL from the list above in the space. For example, {{{legalEscalationLink}}} or {{{customerPortalLink}}}.

 
Untitled (1)

 

When you're done, click the checkmark. That's it! With the placeholder, you can send out custom messages without custom labor.

⚠️ Keep in mind that other placeholders can't be used as a URL.
