You can customize your campaign there. After making enough changes, you are good to use smart tags inside OptinMonster. For using Smart Tags, you need to add a new text element or edit an existing one. With the drag and drop builder, adding new text elements would be pretty straightforward.

In our case, we will be editing one of the text elements already available. All you need to do is, click on the element. And the OptinMonster builder will open the text element configuration on the left-hand side.

As you can see in the above screenshot, we have selected theĀ Limited Time Offer text element. In your editor, you will see two curly brackets {}. You will need to click on it to find all the available smart tags.

If you check the smart tags, you can see some like:

  1. Day
  2. Date
  3. Visitors’ Name
  4. Visitors’ Location
  5. City
  6. State
  7. Zip Code

Or anything related to it. You need to select a smart tag from the list. Right after it, the tag will be added to OptinMonster builder. In this case, we have added the {{date}} tag to our optin.

You can always add a backup option to the tag. For example, if the tag can’t find the necessary information, the backup option will be displayed. Here, we will be mentioning todays’ date.

So if the tag can’t find the {{date}}, the plugin will display today’s date. This is a great idea. Once you have done customization, save your campaign and publish it. Using the OptinMonster API plugin, you can turn this campaign live on your WordPress site. If you check the optin from the frontend, you will see the live-action.

This is how you can use smart tags inside OptinMonster and add personalization. As you can see above, we do not need to write a single line of code for creating optins and modifying it.

OptinMonster got that covered.

If you do not see your optin in the frontend, that might be due to caching system. You need to try cleaning your website cache and browser cache, trying again. It will work.
