Things to know

  • If there's no corresponding customer information for a certain merge tag, ServiceTitan automatically removes the tag from the sent email for that customer.

  • If there's an issue with a merge tag, you won't be able to send your campaign. An error message appears with instructions on how to fix the error.

  • Merge tags in Send Test emails don't display any real customer profile data. Real customer data is only generated by merge tags in emails sent by a launched campaign. Test emails using the phone number merge tags always display a fake placeholder number instead of the real ServiceTitan tracking number, if there is one associated with the campaign.

  • Certain merge tags pull information from customer records, and other merge tags pull information from the details you entered for your brand in Settings.

  • At this time, you can't create your own merge tags. If there is a merge tag you'd like to see in ServiceTitan, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM).
