Dynamic text - Customer Data Platform

  1. Change the Source to Customer Data Platform

Key property: this is the column in the Customer Data Platform of which the data will be shown. This needs to be a key variable, so for example Email or Mobile phonenumber.

Value to match: this is the specific value for which will be searched in the key property column filled in above. If you want to show personalized data per recipient of the Page, you can add a merge tag like Email or Mobile phonenumber here. In that case it will search for the email address or mobile phonenumber of that specific recipient in the Customer Data Platform. You can also hard code a search option and not add a merge tag.

Value to display: this is the specific value which will eventually be shown on the Page of the recipient. For example, if you want to show the discount code on the profile (if this is updated/overwritten regularly) you can set this to Discount Code.
