Smartlead offers powerful variables that push the edge of personalization so you can stand out from the rest of the crowd.
Here's a list of these variables and what they represent.
Add that extra spice of personalization to make your lead feel like this email is just for them by highlighting the time at which you're sending the email along with the day as well.
Change your emails from "Hey {{firstName}}" to: "Good morning Jane" or "Happy Friday, Don."
This induces the customer into believing you've handwritten the email a couple of moments ago when all you did was add one variable and automate the entire experience.
So how do you do this?
Simple steps:
To add time of day, simply add this to your copy
Good {{sl_time_of_day}}
This will convert to Good morning, Good afternoon or Good evening based on when the email is sent our specific to the campaign timezone you selected. The daytime segments are set up as below.
For emails sent before 12PM will say Morning
Emails sent between 12 PM to 3 PM will say Afternoon
Emails sent after 3 PM will say Evening

Similarly to add day of week simply add this to your copy
Happy {{sl_day_of_week}}
This will convert to Happy Monday, Happy Tuesday, etc.

Note: Make sure there are no gaps between the brackets {{}} and sl_time_of_day or sl_day_of_week
In a similar fashion, you can always add custom dates to try to book a time or meeting with your lead.
{{sl_date "10 minutes from now" "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY"}} -> Thursday, January 19th 2023
{{sl_date "2 days from now" "MMMM Do YYYY"}} -> Jan 21st 2023
Refer to the screenshot below:

Similarly, you can try all the below variables:
1) adds 2 days from now
{{sl_date "2Days"}} '21 Jan 2023'
2) subtracts 2days from now
{{sl_date "2Days ago"}} '17 Jan 2023'
3) adds 2days from now in specific format
{{sl_date "2Days" "Do MMM"}} '21st Jan'
4) adds 2week from now
{{sl_date "2week"}} '02 Feb 2023'
5) adds 2month from now
{{sl_date "2month"}} '19 Mar 2023'
6) adds 2 years from now
{{sl_date "2year"}} '19 Jan 2025'
*** if you want to only do weekdays, aka if you do {{sl_date "2Days" "Do MMM"}} and 2 days from now is a weekend, you can "Skip" weekends by adding now_wd as below:
{{sl_date "now_wd 2Days" "Do MMM"}} where wd refers "weekday"
We use Moment JS as the library for formatting; feel free to explore different formats here
This makes it very fluid to send forward/backward dates to your lead.
