Overview

The Spintax feature in MassMailer allows users to create multiple text variations inside a single email template. During email processing, MassMailer randomly selects one option from each Spintax block and uses it in the final email content.

This helps users create more natural, flexible, and personalized email messages without creating multiple templates for small wording changes.

For example:

{Hello|Hi|Dear}

MassMailer will randomly select one of the available options. The final email may contain “Hello”, “Hi”, or “Dear”.

1. Spintax Helps Create Text Variations in One Template

Spintax allows users to write multiple approved wording options in one email template.

Basic format:

{Option 1|Option 2|Option 3}

Example:

{Hello|Hi|Dear}

Possible output:

Hello or Hi or Dear

This means users do not need to create separate templates for small wording differences.

2. It Helps Avoid Repetitive Email Content

When the same email content is sent to many recipients, the message can feel repetitive or robotic. Spintax helps reduce this repetition by allowing different wording variations.

Example:

{Hope you are doing well|Hope everything is going well|Hope your week is going well}

Possible final output:

Hope everything is going well

This makes the email feel more natural while still keeping the message controlled and professional.

3. Spintax Can Be Used in Email Body and Subject Line

Spintax can be used in the email body to vary greetings, opening lines, follow-up text, call-to-action text, and closing lines.

Example in email body:

{Hello|Hi|Dear} Sarah,

Possible output:

Hi Sarah,

Spintax can also be used in the subject line if the subject is processed through the same Spintax logic.

Example subject:

{Quick update|A quick note|Important information} for {{{Recipient.FirstName}}}

Possible final subject:

A quick note for Sarah

This helps users create variation while still keeping the subject personalized.

4. Spintax Works with Merge Fields

Spintax can be used together with merge fields. It is used to vary the text, while merge fields are used to insert recipient-specific values such as first name, company name, sender name, or other Salesforce field values.

Example:

{Hello|Hi|Dear} {{{Recipient.FirstName}}},

Possible output after Spintax selection:

Hi {{{Recipient.FirstName}}},

Possible final output after merge field replacement:

Hi Sarah,

This gives both text variation and personalization in the same email.
