By creating personalized mobile messaging campaigns based on Optimove’s powerful Target Groups, you can customize the content of your mobile messages sent via OptiMobile using “Personalization Tags.” These tags allow you to create templates that change dynamically for each recipient.
For example, you can customize the message with the recipient’s first name, increasing opens and engagement.
Please note:
Currently, personalization tags can only be used in Web Push Notifications and Mobile Push Notifications. Personalization Tags for In-App Messages are coming soon.
Preparing to Use OptiMobile Personalization Tags
Once your CSM has set up your tags, you can use them in any mobile message.
To set up Customer Attributes as tags:
1. Go to the Settings section via the cog symbol in the bottom left corner

2. Click on the Attributes management area under Data Studio

3. Click the three dots on the Attribute you would like to use as a Personalization Tag. Please note that only published attributes can be set as Personalization Tags.

4. Check the “Use as personalization tag” checkbox and click the Update button to save your work.

Personalizing Your Template
Once you’ve set up your tags, you can use them in your mobile marketing campaigns.
1. While editing a push notification template (this process applies to both mobile push and web push), click on Personalization within the template editor.
2. From here, select the Personalization Tag you’d like to add from the dropdown menu. You can also add Content or General tags, such as the Current Date.
3. At this point, you can add a default value for your Personalization Tag and select a Content Function to determine whether it should be upper, lower, or title case within the mobile message. Click Confirm to add the tag to your message.
4. When you add your Personalization Tag, it will be highlighted in the Template Editor and the Preview.
