Meta Replacement Codes
Groundhogg can store additional information associated with contacts as metadata. To display metadata you can use replacement codes, for example: {profile_picture} or {note}
You can find the shorthand code for custom meta that you saved by viewing it in the contact record under the " More" tab .
Some specific meta codes
Name | Code | Description |
Agreed To Terms | {terms_agreement_date} | Date when Contact agreed to Terms & Conditions |
Data Processing Consent | {gdpr_consent_date} | Date when Contact agreed to Data Processing Consent |
Marketing Consent | {marketing_consent_date} | Date when Contact agreed to Marketing consent |
Note:
To retrieve data from the Contacts that haven't been assigned a replacement code, follow these steps:
- Identify the data you want to retrieve. For example, if you need the Date Created information, take note of it.
- Use the replacement code
{date_created}
to fetch the Date Created data from the Contacts. Insert this replacement code into your desired location. - If you prefer a well-formatted result, you can utilize the following format:
{date.F jS, Y|date_created}
. This format will display the Date Created in the form "Month day, Year." For additional examples of{date.
