Dynamic Content in Lightning

Dynamic content allows you to publish content for different audiences within the same email template.

For example, you can send a thank you email to people who have made donations. Instead of creating separate emails based on each donation amount, you can create content specific to the donation amount within the same email.

Dynamic Content relies on a contact or lead field which will trigger it.

In this example the field is ‘Donation Level.’ Your contact will need to meet the criteria of that field in order for the dynamic content to work. For example, a contact record with a value of ‘Silver’ in the Donation Level field will receive the dynamic content for the silver level member.

Dynamic Content Setup:

Step 1: Map the Dynamic Content Trigger Field

Make sure that the field being used as the trigger for the dynamic content is mapped as a merge field.
