How to Use Member Data Variables

You can use member data variables within content (text, buttons, button links, forms, images, HTML, etc.). This is a more advanced, but very powerful feature that lets you personalize screens for each user automatically.


What Are Member Data Variables?

Member data variables enable you to display information about the member currently using the app. When the screen loads, the variable is replaced with the actual value from that member’s profile.

Format

{{member.variable}} 

Supported variables

  • {{member.firstName}}   
  • {{member.lastName}}   
  • {{member.email}}   
  • {{member.phoneNumber}}   
  • {{member.uid}}    (their unique user ID)

Steps: How to Use Member Data Variables

1. Open a custom screen to edit or create a new screen

Choose the screen where you want to add personalized text or buttons, or create a new screen from scratch.

Sample custom screen

Anywhere you can type text, you can use variables.

3. Insert a member variable

Example: Hey, {{member.firstName}}!   

If a member doesn’t have a value for the variable you’re using, you can include a fallback so the text still displays naturally.

Format: {{member.variable || backup text}}   

Example: Hey, {{member.firstName || there}}!   


5. Save and preview

When you're done, tap the check icon (✔) in the top-right corner to save your changes.

To see how it looks for a real member, tap the eye icon (👁) to preview the screen.

In Preview mode, the app will show the member’s own name or information in place of the variable.



Left: the editor shows, Hey, {{member.firstName || there}}!  

Right: a member named Sean sees Hey, Sean!
