Complete Email Template Variables Reference

A definitive reference of all merge tags (template variables) available in Support Genix email notifications. Use these to customize your email templates with dynamic ticket, user, and site data.

How Merge Tags Work

Merge tags are placeholders written as {{variable_name}} inside your email templates. When an email is sent, each tag is replaced with the actual value.

Example template:

Hi {{ticket_user}},

Your ticket {{ticket_track_id}} has been received. We'll respond as soon as possible.

— The {{site_name}} Support Team

Rendered email:

Hi John Doe,

Your ticket TKT-00042 has been received. We'll respond as soon as possible.

— The Acme Inc Support Team

Tips for Templates

  • Always include {{ticket_track_id}} in the subject line so customers can reference their ticket number.
  • Use {{view_ticket_hot_anchor}} instead of raw URLs for cleaner, clickable links.
  • Add {{ticket_feedback_button}} in closure emails to collect customer satisfaction data.
  • Test your templates by creating a test ticket and verifying the rendered email.
  • Keep templates concise — customers are more likely to read short, focused emails.
