Email Templates Customization
Overview
This tutorial focuses on customization of transactional emails that are sent to your customers when certain user actions occur (e.g. registering to your service or requesting a password reset) which is possible with the Advanced Customization option (Cleeng-Mailchimp integration).
If you select the Advanced Customization option for your transactional emails, you can build an email template from scratch using the visual editor in Mailchimp and adding Cleeng data variables (parameters) in the template content.
Cleeng parameters work like Mailchimp merge tags. For more information on how Mailchimp merge tags work, see Mailchimp documentation.
In Cleeng, we have two kinds of parameters that you can use to insert personalized or dynamic content in your emails:
- Global Parameters
- Specific Template Parameters
For example, you can use the CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME parameter to display a customer’s first name where the parameter is placed. You can paste it anywhere you want in the html file, it can be either a value for parameter or value in the text tag like in the example below.
Note: Please pay attention to the formatting of parameters as specified in the Mailchimp documentation for merge tags.
<b>Hi *|CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME|*,</b>
"Welcome email" example
Global parameters
They are used in every template to reflect your branding and data of a specific customer that an email is sent to.

Specific template parameters
This section is divided into email templates.
It contains specific template parameters that are applicable to particular email templates and are used besides global ones.
Important
It's crucial to note that the Specific Template Parameters are unique to each designated template. These parameters cannot be interchanged or utilized across different templates. Each event and its associated payload are designed for a single email template. Attempting to incorporate a payload element, such as a renewal date, into a template not intended for it won't be feasible.
