Placeholder variable text is used to add personalized data on each player to your email notifications. Variables appearing in the email notifications preview are automatically replaced with actual data. So when the actual email notification is sent to your players, the actual data appears instead of the variable placed.

Starting with a quick overview of variables. A variable is a value that can change, depending on conditions or on information passed to the program. It is simply a name that can be replaced with a real value from computer memory.

At Gameball, we use the following variable in email notifications:

Total points after achievement

Equivalent value of new points

The equivalent monetary value of new points.

New level

Gameball sends notifications any time a customer completes an achievement like signing up, completing a purchase, or earning points depending on your configurations.
