And more Merge Tags
🔖 What Are Merge Tags?
Merge tags are little shortcuts that automatically pull information into your email so you don’t have to type it yourself.
Think of them like fill-in-the-blank fields that Slick completes for you.
⭐ Examples
You write:
Hi [First Name], we hope you're well.
Your client sees:
Hi Emma, we hope you're well.
You write:
[Online Booking]
Your client sees your Unique Online Booking Link
🔵 How to Spot a Merge Tag
Anything with a blue dotted outline in your email is a merge tag.
That means the information will be filled in automatically when the email is sent.
🧩 Adding a merge tag to your email
Click any text block to open the formatting toolbar.
Select Merge Tags, then choose the tag you want (like [First Name] or [Online Booking]).
It will drop into your text automatically and personalise each email for every client.
🧱 How to Customise a Template
Once you’ve chosen a template, you can personalise it using the drag-and-drop editor.
1. Edit any text
Click inside a text block to update:
Content
Style
Colours
Formatting
Merge tags (e.g., First Name)
2. Replace images
Upload your own images or GIFs to personalise:
Hero banners
Staff photos
Product images
3. Change the layout
Use the right hand toolbar to drag in:
Text blocks
Images
Buttons
Columns
Play with the layout
4. Add or remove sections
Delete sections you don’t need, or duplicate a row to repeat the layout.
5. Customise your call-to-action button
Edit:
Button text
Colour
Link (auto-linked if online booking is enabled)
6. Insert merge tags for personalisation
Easily add:
First Name

Personalisation improves engagement and open rates.
