What are the shortcodes?

Shortcodes are concise keywords that are automatically replaced with data or content when the message is sent. They serve as a powerful tool for adding dynamism and personalization to your automated messages, saving you time, boosting efficiency, and transforming your messages into more personalized communications.

An example of shortcodes:

Hi {{guest_first_name}},

Please find our Guest Guide here: {{guest_guide_url}}

We look forward to welcoming you!

Best regards,

{{host_title}}
