Vary Your Wording Automatically with Spintax
Spintax lets you write several versions of a phrase once and have Vendi Today pick one at random each time a message goes out. Messages feel more natural and less copy-pasted, especially in large sends.
The syntax
Wrap the options in curly braces, start with the word SPIN, and separate options with a pipe character:
{SPIN|Hey|Hello|Hi} {{contact.first_name}}
Each recipient gets one of the options. It works in the email builder, Workflows, Conversations and bulk sends.
How to add it
- Open your email or template in the editor.
- Type your spintax where you want variation.
- Save the message or template.
- Send a few tests to see different results.
Good places to use it
- Reminders:
{SPIN|Just a reminder|Friendly reminder|Quick reminder} about tomorrow's appointment. - Follow-ups:
{SPIN|Checking in|Following up|Circling back} on our last conversation. - Calls to action:
{SPIN|Want to learn more?|Interested in hearing more?|Shall we book a quick call?}
Combine it with personalization
Options can contain merge fields and custom values. For example {SPIN|Hi {{contact.first_name}}|Learn more about {{customvalue1}}} produces different personalized lines.
Use it wisely
Mailbox providers can spot simple word swaps, so changing only a greeting does little. Spin whole phrases or sentences, keep every option natural, and treat spintax as one tool among good sending practices.
Good to know: Read every variation aloud before saving. Each option must make sense in the sentence around it.
