Inserting macros in email notifications
This article explains how to insert changeable information into your email notifications. This might be the name of your webshop, the name of the carrier concerned, or address information.
Check out our Email templates video tutorial for an introduction to customizing your email notifications.
You can access Paazl's notification editor by clicking on the "Edit template" links in the web app under .
You will see a list of macro names on the right-hand side of the notification editor. To insert a macro in your notification, place your cursor where you want the macro to be inserted, and click the macro name on the right.

Note
Don't drag the macro to the template! Simply place your cursor where you want it, and click the macro's name.
The values of the macros are taken from data stored in the Paazl database when an order is committed, or, in some cases, from static data configured for your webshop account.
Note
The macro names you see on the right will either be in English or Dutch. However, the inserted macros will always show the Dutch name. This will not affect the inserted value.
The table below contains a mapping of Dutch and English macro names.
