✨ Smart variables in TikTask: personalize messages automatically
Use smart variables to auto-fill names and dates inside your messages so one template can feel personal.
Smart variables are small placeholders you add inside a message. When TikTask runs the schedule, it replaces them with real values.
This helps you write one message that feels personal, without retyping it every time.
Example: “Hey @recipient_first_name, just checking in.”
What variables are used for
- Follow-ups (Hey @recipient_first_name...)
- Reminders (Today at @time...)
- Campaigns (Hi @recipient_first_name, your order is ready)
- Internal notes (Next task: @date)
Common variables (examples)
Name-based
- @recipient_first_name → “Hey Sara”
- @recipient_name → “Hey Sara Khalil”
Time and date
- @date → “Today is Dec 28”
- @time → “at 6:30 PM”
- @date_time → “Dec 28, 6:30 PM”
Your identity (optional)
- @my_first_name → your first name (if available)
How to use variables (step-by-step)
- Create a new schedule (or open a text bucket)
- Write your message
- Insert a variable from the variables picker (recommended)
- Save and schedule
Ready-to-use templates
Simple follow-up
“Hey @recipient_first_name, just checking in. Want me to send the details?”
Appointment reminder
“Hi @recipient_first_name, quick reminder for @date_time. Reply anytime if you need to reschedule.”
Weekly promo
“Hey @recipient_first_name, we have a small offer today. Want me to share it?”
Friendly no-reply ping
“Hi @recipient_first_name, just making sure you saw my last message. No rush.”
Important notes
- If TikTask can’t detect a value (for example: name not available), the variable may stay as-is or use a fallback.
- Variables work best when the recipient is saved as a contact with a name.
- Test once with a schedule 2 minutes from now to see how it looks.
