Content personalizations help you create account-wide personalization fields to populate consistent information across all of your account's content. When you edit a content personalization in Custom Account Settings, all Act-On Messages, Landing Pages, and Forms using that personalization will automatically update. This saves valuable time by preventing you from manually updating your account-wide content.

Unlike Act-On's other personalization features, content personalizations do not uniquely personalize content for each recipient or user. 

When should I use content personalizations?

Use content personalizations to populate account-wide information that should be consistent across your organization today (and that will likely change in the future). This could include:

• Your company's office locations
• Names of employees in specific roles, such as your executive team
• The current year (great for copyright notices in email and page footers)

Example

If you use your CEO's name in account-wide messages and landing pages, you'll likely want to update all of your content when your company hires a new CEO. You can create a content personalization that maps 'CEOname' to the name 'Jane Doe' and then embed the following output in your content:

{{AccountCustom.CEOname}}

This will populate 'Jane Doe' in every piece of content that uses the variable CEOname. If your CEO changes, you can update this value in your Custom Account Settings.
