Using fragments and parts in message templates
Fragments and parts in email templates are tools that help automate and simplify the content creation process. They are especially useful when the email content needs to change dynamically based on the recipient or other conditions. Let’s explore how fragments and parts work, their benefits, and examples of their use.
- Automation: The same text block can be reused across multiple templates without the need for manual copying.
- Versatility: Fragments can be inserted conditionally, such as displaying different parts of an email for various user categories.
- Ease of updates: Changes made to the content of a snippet are automatically reflected in all templates where it is used.
To insert a snippet into a template, follow these steps:
- Email header:
- Email footer:
The footer snippet can include contact information, a link to the privacy policy, and social media buttons.

- fragment.recommendation_1: "Subscribe to our blog, where we regularly share articles packed with helpful tips and fresh updates. [CTA: Go to blog]"
- fragment.recommendation_2: "Check out our tutorial videos to better understand the functionality and learn how to use the service effectively. [CTA: Watch videos]"
- fragment.recommendation_3: "Read case studies from our clients and learn how they use our service to achieve their goals. [CTA: Read case studies]"
- Flexibility. A part can be modified based on various variables, such as city, subscription plan, or user interests.
- Complex scenarios. You can create complex scenarios for specific audience segments, such as displaying different offers for new customers and loyal clients.
- Targeted campaigns. By taking profile characteristics into account, emails with parts are more effective because they achieve higher engagement through relevant content.
To use a part, you need to:
1. Add a variable, for example, {part.example_part}, in the desired location within the template.
2. After this, a "Content" tab will appear at the bottom of the page, where you can configure the parts of the template.
This case allows you to set up unique offers for clients based on their city, without the need to create different emails for each region.
This approach makes it easy to personalize your messages:
The use of fragments and parts in email marketing templates and other automated messages is a powerful tool that can significantly increase the effectiveness and flexibility of working with content. These elements help not only to reduce time and resource costs in creating new templates but also provide opportunities for personalization, which is especially important in the face of growing competition and customer demands for individualized approaches.
The flexibility of using fragments and parts makes templates interactive and smart, allowing marketers to engage in more targeted and effective communication with customers. Personalizing emails based on specific user characteristics increases engagement and brand loyalty, which ultimately contributes to higher conversions and sales.
