      ⇒  A menu opens that lists the available Mapp Engage Variables. You can drag and drop a variable directly into your message or landing page.

    Mapp Engage Variables​

    Mapp Engage Variables allow you to insert content into a message or landing page automatically.

    Mapp Engage Variables are content shortcuts. You drag or drop the variables from a menu to insert more complex content. The variables save you time and effort during message and landing page creation.

    Unlike personalisation, the Mapp Engage Variables insert content that is identical for all contacts. All recipients of a message or all visitors to the landing page see the same content.

    Types of Mapp Engage Variables​

    The Mapp Engage Variables are grouped in the following categories:

    Mapp Engage Variables - Barcode​

    The Mapp Engage Variables in the ​Barcode​ category insert a barcode into your message.

    The Barcode Generator automatically creates barcodes from a coupon list, custom attribute, or data that is manually entered on the user interface. For more information, see Create a New Barcode​. Barcodes that are generated from a coupon list or custom attribute are added to a message with a Mapp Engage Variable. A barcode is generated for each coupon and inserted individually into the message during sendout.

    Use this Mapp Engage Variable to add conversion tracking to a single message. You can also set up conversion tracking for an entire group in the group settings, on the ​Sendout Settings​ tab. For instructions, see ​Enable Conversion Tracking for a Group​.

    Mapp Engage Variables - Coupon​
