Due to low usage, the Section Tags feature has been deprecated. It will be fully removed on 06/22/2020. Click here for more information.
This example will show you how to create a section as a greeting with a name substitution. We will be using the tags -warm_welcome-, -greeting- and -name- in this example. In this example, we have created a greeting using the section tag -warm_welcome-. The -warm_welcome- tag is replaced with the -greeting- substitution which calls the section "Hello -name-,". The -name- tag in "Hello -name-," is then replaced with the recipient's name.

This example will show you how to create three different sections for confirmation emails. We will be using the tags -name-, -confirmations-, -confirmation_001-, -confirmation_002-, -confirmation_003- and -order_id- in this example. In this example, we have created three different confirmations using the section tag -confirmations-. The -confirmations- tag is replaced with either -confirmation_001-, -confirmation_002- or -confirmation_003- substitution. This will call one of the three sections. In each of these sections, there is the -order_id- tag which will get replaced with the recipient's order id.
