Mitingu allows you to set up as many themes and then templates within those themes as you like. For example. If you have an event based on a specific theme, then you may want the event site and all the communications to stay consistent with that theme.

We use Liquid for our template designs. This was created by Shopify and is used by hundreds of leading companies including Shopify and Zendesk. This allows you to add variable fields and dynamic content to your templates.

If you'd like us to build a new theme for you, our Professional Services team can help there. Contact them here

What is a variable field?

A variable field is basically a placeholder in your email that pulls content from the data based on which field it is.

All variable fields in Mitingu are displayed like this {{ variablefieldname }}. Here's a list of all the popular variable fields used:

Liquid Filters

asset_url - {{ 'asset.ext' | asset_url }} - Full url to the uploaded asset in the theme editor, i.e. if you upload a banner.jpg file then you can access the URL to that file using {{ 'banner.jpg' | asset_url }}

svg_qr_code - {{ attendee.token | svg_qr_code: size, svg_transform }} - Only in ticket SVG, outputs a QR code from the input text of specified size and at the location specified in the SVG transform

For example. If you wanted to open up your email and say Hi "firstname", then this would look like this within the template:

Hi {{ contact.firstname }}

So if John was in the data, then his email would display as "Hi John".

Dynamic Content

You can also create dynamic content within your email. What this means is that the same template can have different text paragraphs and/or images depending on the recipient. So if a recipient A is tagged as being a "Vegetarian", recipient B is tagged as being "Gluten Free" and recipient C is tagged as "No Dietary Requirements", then their respective event pages and emails could contain information (such as menus) specific to their tags.

Dynamic content is displayed within the template as If/Else and their format always appears like this {% if/elsestatement %}. So the above example of dietary requirements would appear like this in the template:

Contact Type Email - For example reminders, updates and general comms

{% if contact.tags contains "Vegetarian" %}Here's your vegetarian menu.

{% elsif contact.tags contains "Gluten Free" %}Here's your gluten free menu.

{% else %}Here's your menu.

{% endif %}

 

Order Type Email - Registration Confirmation

{% for attendee in order.attendees %}{{ attendee.name }}

{% if attendee.tags contains "Vegetarian" %}Here's your vegetarian menu.

{% elsif attendee.tags contains "Gluten Free" %}Here's your gluten free menu.

{% else %}Here's your menu.

{% endif %}

{% endfor %}
