The time you all have been waiting for has come!

Now you can transfer the participant's tags of a campaign from Viral-loops to your CRM using them to make even more personalized and dynamic e-mails to target your audience. Let's see how this rolls out:

1) Names and Descriptions

Below you can see all the merge field data in one place so that you can know what info you can use in your e-mails. Check our table below:

-The campaign ID is the Campaign public token. It is used to support more than one campaign in a Hubspot account and it helps us to reconnect the same campaign. Also, it’s used as a Group name for the properties of the campaign.
