After the fields are added to the Mapping (right column), they must be 'mapped' to the fields in the left column Fields.

Personalization/dynamic content

The content of text messages can be determined dynamically. Personalization fields can be called by placing brackets [ ] before and after the name of the personalization field. For example: [FORENAME].

Please note that when personalizing a text message, it is important to place the most important information at the beginning of the message. For example, if a long name is pre-populated in a text message, the message content may exceed 160 characters. Characters over 160 will not be sent.
