With pre-defined merge tags, you can insert dynamic merge tags in your campaigns’ text fields and show, for example, the current date or the visitor's country.
When you insert a merge tag into the campaign, it will be replaced with a dynamic value when your campaign shows to a visitor.
For example, when you choose the "Current Day" option, the merge tag {{day}} will be added to your campaign. But, when displayed to a visitor, it will be replaced with whatever day it currently is.
