Once you type the message, you will see options to customize the content:

### **Use Variables**

Use them to add already collected data from your customers to the messages. E.g.: "How are you today, @name?" will display the customer's name at the end.

Just click on "Add Variables" to open up a dropdown with all the available fields. Just a quick tip – make sure the variable you choose actually has some data in it, or it won't show up as intended!
