Subscriptions

Profile Subscriptions

Description	Variable
Subscription email address	{subscription.email}
Email domain	{subscription.email_domain}
Subscription email list	{subscription.emails}
Subscription phone	{subscription.phone}
Subscription phone list	{subscription.phones}
Push subscriptions list	{subscription.pushes}
MD5 of email	{subscription.email_md5}

Subscription hash	{subscription.hash_id}
Primary subscription field	{subscription_field("channel" "field_name" resource_id)} channel — string like "email" field_name — name of field like "domain" resource — ID like 10

The subscription_field function allows inserting fields from subscriptions regardless of the current message channel. For example:

{subscription_field("sms" "phone")}

If multiple subscriptions match, the one with the highest priority is selected.

Available fields:

Channel	Field	Description
email	email	Email address
	domain	Email domain
	domain_group	Domain group
	md5	MD5 hash
sms	phone	Phone
	md5	MD5 hash
push	subscription_id	Push subscription ID
	bundle_id	iOS APNs app bundle ID
	provider	Push provider

tip

Similarly, data from custom channel subscriptions can be inserted. Fields in main channels match the SID fields you define when creating the channel.

External JSON Content

External JSON is a way to generate dynamic messages with content from your server at the moment of sending.

Details: Using JSON Content in Messages

Use {json.variable} in text. list and object types support loops. Use {json.object.key_name} for keys.

Encryption

Encryption and Hashing

Template variable encryption is used when data must be passed via a URL without being exposed in server logs or to the user. For example, you may want to encode pre-filled form data using base58 for decoding on the website side.

Use the crypt function in the template editor via the </> button → Encryption:

{crypt(algorithm field key)}

Supported algorithms:

• base58
• base64
• sha1
• sha256
• aes
• blowfish

For sha1, sha256, aes, and blowfish you must provide a key.

AES and Blowfish details:

	AES	Blowfish
Initialization vector	First 16 bytes	First 8 bytes
Mode	CFB	CBC
Key length	128-bit (16 chars)	64-bit (8 chars)
Padding	zero padding	zero padding

tip

All encryption/decryption uses Base64URL encoding.

Examples:

{crypt(base58 lead._fname)}
{crypt(base64 lead._lname)}
{crypt(sha256 lead.custom_field "encrypt_key")}
{crypt(sha1 lead._city "encrypt_key")}
{crypt(aes lead._fname "key1234567891234")}
{crypt(blowfish lead._fname "key12345")}

For string values, wrap in quotes. Numbers can be passed as-is:

{crypt(base58 "value")}
{crypt(base64 42)}

Hash algorithms also support optional salt:

• md5 + salt
• xxh32 + salt
• xxh64 + salt

Same syntax:

{crypt(md5 subscription.email "salt")}
{crypt(xxh32 loyalty.new2.promocode "salt")}
{crypt(xxh64 json.text "salt")}

Encrypted values are Base64-encoded.

Logical Expressions

Logical Expressions

Logical expressions are explained in detail here.

For simple conditions, use the following structure:

{if lead.age gte 18}
  18 or older.
{else}
  Under 18.
{end}

Fragments

Message Fragments

Fragments are reusable blocks used across multiple messages—such as headers, footers, or social media blocks.

To insert a fragment:

{fragment.<fragment_shortname>}

To insert a random fragment:

{randomfragment[fragment.name1 fragment.name2 fragment.name3]}

More on fragment usage: this article.

Emoji

You can insert emoji into your message templates. To do so, select the emoji from the variables menu in the template editor.

Profile Relations

Profile Relations

General syntax:

{relation.[relation_shortname].[direct|reverse].[property].[count|total|top]}

Example: count of direct relations by profit property:

{relation.managers_loyal.direct.profit.count}

Top reverse relations by profit, using loop to output:

{for $index $item = relation.managers_loyal.reverse.profit.top}
{$item.lead._fname} {$item.lead._lname} ({$item.value} profit)
{else} There is no ‘profit’ for you :(
{end}

Sum of profit from direct relations:

{relation.managers_loyal.direct.profit.total}

Editor Functions

Price Formatting

Use this function to separate numbers into groups of three digits with a chosen separator.

Price 8.000 RUR

<p>Price {format json.price "."} RUR</p>

Access it via </> → Output Functions → Formatting.

Date Offset

The function adddate(date, year, month, day) returns a new date with the added interval.

<p>Event starts on {adddate(lead.notify_date 0 0 10)}</p>

It can be used inside format():

<p>Event starts on {format adddate(lead.notify_date 0 0 10) "%Y-%m-%D"}</p>

Access via </> → Date and Time → Date Offset.

Date Formatting

To format dates based on regional preferences, use this:

<p>Birth date {format lead._bdate "%D.%m.%Y"}</p>

Supported date formatting options:

# years
"%y": "06"
"%Y": "2006"
"yy": "06"
"YYYY": "2006"

If using external JSON content, Altcraft can parse RFC 3339 strings into datetime:

Mode	Format
JSON	"date_time": "2023-02-21T11:10:35.141Z"
Template	{format apicontent.date_time "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"}
Preview	2023-02-21 11:10:35
