Replacement variables are not very discoverable in the docs (I only found them after your comment, by using the ai assistant), and the docs don't reflect the app I see in your demo account (I see no personalize button when editing a template, and I don't know what it would do if it were there). I would recommend fleshing out the docs and linking them and/or the ai assistant in the app to make features more discoverable. twilio and stripe carved their market even more with documentation and code snippets than with features. Also, having a tier or three between 1 + 2 would be absolutely essential if you ever desired to get smaller businesses to use your product.
Our software and competitors like Braze are typically used in situations where you can’t have a personal connection, but still need to message users, often when they complete specific actions in your application, or if you want to send one-off promotions for example. E-commerce brands or a banking app might use us for example.
We do support replacement variables like you mentioned and are adding integrations actively.
