Barcode Variables

Prev Next

The Barcode category inserts a barcode image into the message.

You create barcodes with the Barcode Generator from a coupon list, a custom attribute, or manually entered data. Barcodes from a coupon list or a custom attribute are generated individually for each recipient during sendout.

Note

Barcodes are not supported in SMS messages. Barcodes stored in the Content Store are not available in this category. To use them, see Use a Content Store Element in an Email.


  1. Create or edit an email message.

  2. Click Mapp Engage Variables.

  3. From the Category drop-down list, select Barcode.

  4. Drag and drop the barcode into the message.


Available Barcodes

The Barcode category lists all barcodes in your Mapp Engage system by name and ID.

If the category shows no barcodes, one of the following applies:

  • There are no barcodes in your Mapp Engage system.

  • You do not have permission to see barcodes. You need one of the following system permissions:

    • 170 Barcodes: View and Edit Own Barcodes (you only see your own barcodes)

    • 171 Barcodes: View All Barcodes

    • 172 Barcodes: View and Edit All Barcodes

  • Your barcodes are stored in the Content Store.


Format

The variable is inserted as an image tag. For example, the following variable inserts the barcode with the ID 104:

<img src="<%barcode.104%>">

You do not need to change the variable. During sendout, Mapp Engage replaces it with the barcode.
