What is a variable?

A variable is a symbol in an email or SMS template that will take on a certain value when sent.

For example, a variable that is associated with a name of a client and is added in a message template will be erased to display the name of the client to whom the message is addressed.

To facilitate the adding of variables in a message template, email or SMS, PRIM offers a list of available variables to select.

You can also use variables in a message, email, SMS, if you do not use a template.

See sections "Add an email template un modèle de courriel" and "Add a SMS template" to learn how to create templates. Nous traiterons ici de l'ajout de variables dans un message, although the feature is the same in a template.
