Using Merge Field Codes

Emails

When creating an email, using merge field codes can save a lot of time and effort. Merge field codes allow you to personalize the email by automatically populating information into the email. To use merge field codes, simply insert them into the email template or email directly & it will populate the information specific to the transaction or contacts you are creating the email for. The merge field codes can pull different information, such as contact information, transaction date template dates, and transaction information cells. For AFrame merge field codes, use the format: $CustomMergeCode.

Dates

Each date entry has a custom merge field code associated with it. With this code, you can define what it will be and you can reference it in email templates or even use it within due date formulas for other date entries or tasks.

Tasks

When creating tasks there are two options for due dates: no due date or due date formulas. When choosing the due date formula you have the option to select a referenced date. The reference date is a date entry or standard date (such as list date, effective date, template start date, closing date, or any custom date made) that will have its unique merge field code associated with it.

Default Date Merge Field Codes

These are the date entries in the default date template for each account. You can always create custom dates with their own custom merge field codes within the date templates. There are optional suffixes for the date merge field codes to help with more conversational formats for emails.

ProTip: You can create multiple date templates in your account with custom dates to apply to your transactions, which is beneficial when you cover multiple states/areas with different contract dates. You can learn more with our Date Templates article.

User Role Merge Field Codes

Add the Prefix (including -) and Suffix together to pull the correct information (i.e. $UserAssistant1-FirstName)

Participant Role Merge Field Codes

General Merge Field Codes

These general merge field codes can be used in emails or email templates.

The use of these general merge field codes within emails or email templates will pull the available information that coordinates with the transaction side that you represent. For example: If you have a buyer side transaction, then the $FirstLastNames Merge Feild Code will pull the buyer(s) participant's first and last name(s) - John & Jane Smith.
