[Donor Management System] Tokens Overview & Available Tokens

What are Tokens?

Also known as Merge Tags, Tokens can be used to automatically include information from multiple Contacts in Email Message Templates.

This way, you can send one single email to all of your Contacts, and each Contact will receive the information that is tailored to them.

Example:

Dear {contact.first_name},

We want to thank you for your recent donation of {contribution.total_amount} on {contribution.receive_date}. With your generous support, we’re better able to achieve our important charitable mission.

With gratitude,

CanadaHelps
