What are Variable Fields?

Variable fields help you to customize and personalize communications within A-Suite.

InVariable fields are a great way to customize your communication in A-Suite. 

In areas where you are able to customize communication such as in forms builders, and the EZApp landing page, and SMS and Email templates, you will see variable fields as options. 

In the drop down in Variable Fields, you may see a menu like the one pictured below: 

Persona, Manager, and Company are all options in the menu with further drop down options to explore. 

In Persona, the following options are visible to select: 

 

For example if you were to select "First Name" to place into the body of your communication, you would see . This indicates that whomever is receiving the communication will have his or her first name appear where those brackets appear. This is a time saver in mass communication, as it enables you to customize messages without having to type the same data repeatedly. 

Using the following variable fields in "Persona" would populate the candidate or team member's data as seen below:
