Notification Template Variables and Display Options

This is the field-level reference for the notification editor. For turning templates on or off, see Review Email and SMS Notifications.

How Variables Work

  1. Open Settings → Notifications and select Edit on a template.
  2. In Edit Notification, select Variables to show the variable bar, then click a variable. It is inserted at the cursor in Body.
  3. Check Rendered Email Preview. The preview fills variables with sample values (for example, a sample customer named "Jeff Agent" and order number 12345), not your real records.
  4. Select Save Template. Send Test sends the template to your own login email.

Rules and limits:

  • Variables are written in double braces, for example {{client_name}}. Type them exactly. A misspelled variable is not replaced.
  • Each template offers only the variables listed for it below. A variable copied from another template may be empty.
  • When a value is missing, the variable is left blank. {{client_name}} and {{team_member_name}} fall back to "there", so "Hi {{client_name}}," still reads correctly.
  • Dates and times are formatted for the recipient-facing email. Money values are formatted as currency.
  • The subject line can use the same variables as the body.

SMS-Capable Templates

Text messages can be turned on only for Appointment Scheduled, Appointment Rescheduled, Appointment Canceled, Appointment Reminder, Home Prep Guide, Listing Delivery, and Order Deposit Request. SMS Text Notifications must be enabled first. See SMS Text Notifications.

Troubleshooting

  • A variable shows as blank. The value doesn't exist for that order (for example, no second appointment), a display option hides it, or the variable isn't offered for that template.
  • A variable appears literally in the email, such as {{clientname}}. Fix the spelling and save.
  • The preview shows sample names. That's expected. Use Send Test to see the final layout in your inbox.
