Personalisation Variables

In message and connection note content, use these placeholders — replaced with each lead's data at send time:

  • {{firstName}} — Lead's first name
  • {{lastName}} — Lead's last name
  • {{company}} — Lead's current company
  • {{title}} — Lead's job title
ℹ️ If a lead's field is empty, the variable renders as a blank. Always proofread your messages with this in mind.

  4. Wait 3 days
  5. Send Message (only runs if connection was accepted)
