Personalize emails with Creator Network referral data

Improvement

When someone makes a personal introduction for you, what do you do? You thank them! It’s also the most natural way for you to then build a connection with the person you just met because you have a friend in common.

With the new Creator Network referrer conditional, you can do just that. Customize your email content by displaying personalized messages of who recommended your content to them, making your emails even more relevant and engaging.

With this feature you can:

  • Reference the creator who recommended your subscriber using Liquid: {{ subscriber.recommendations.referrer.name }}
  • Create conditional content based on the creator who recommended your subscriber using the Personalization block

Try it out in your next email to subscribers gained through Recommendations, or add it to your welcome Sequence to make it more personal.

For more information on how to set this up, check out this Knowledge Base article.
