When creating notifications in DigitalChalk, you can use variables to personalize the content for each recipient. These variables allow you to automatically insert specific information into your notification messages.

Common variables you can use in notifications include:

• ${user.firstName} – Inserts the recipient’s first name
• ${user.lastName} – Inserts the recipient’s last name
• ${user.email} – Inserts the recipient’s email address
• ${course.title} – Inserts the title of the relevant course
• ${offering.title} – Inserts the title of the specific course offering
• ${completion.date} – Inserts the date of course completion

To use variables in your notifications:

1. When editing the notification content, type the ? symbol
2. A list of available variables will appear
3. Select the desired variable from the list (you can copy directly from the dropdown)
4. Paste the variable into the text body of your notification

Using these variables allows you to create more personalized and relevant notifications for your users.
