Personalizing Qwilr Pages with Tokens
Tokens offer your team a quick and easy way to add personalized details to Qwilr Pages. You don't even need a CRM!
Hi {{first_name}}.
Okay, that's not super engaging - but imagine if that said your name! Or your buyer's name. Or your buyer's cat's name! The possibilities are (almost) endless. Tokens allow you to add a whole other level of personalization.

Preparing a Template
This process begins with a Qwilr Template. If you have some Templates you've already converted, you can head to Library > Templates and open any Template for editing.
To create a new blank Template, click Library in the top left of your screen, and select Templates. Click the Create Blank Template button.
Don't have a Template yet? No issues! Start by creating a Qwilr Page (or cloning one you already have). While you're editing it, head to the top right corner and click the Convert to Template icon.
Your Template will stay open so you can start adding some tokens.
Setting up your Account Tokens
In the top right corner of the Editor, you'll notice that the Template conversion icon has been replaced with a Tokens icon. Click that to get started.
The first time you use the Tokens tool, you'll see a list of default Tokens. We added these because they're commonly used, but you can also create as many custom Tokens as you need.
To create a new Token, type in the label you'd like the Token to have. Choose a short name that your team will easily recognize. Then click Add to save the token.
Adding Tokens to the Template
When you have all of your Tokens created, it's time to add some to your Template.
You can add as many Tokens to each Template as you need. You can use any Token multiple times, and you don't have to use every Token in your list!
There are three ways to add Tokens - choose the one you like best.
Copying and Pasting
Next to each token, you'll see a Copy button. Click that to copy the Token. Then place your cursor where you want the Token, and use your key command of Ctrl-V or Cmd-V to paste it.
Dragging and Dropping
Alternatively, you can click on the Token and drag it to the location in the Page. Then drop it.
Typing Tokens
This option is great to use while you're writing your Template content. Anywhere in your Template, type two open curly brackets, like this: {{
That will bring up your Token list within the Template, and you can choose the one you need.
Creating a new Page, filling in the Tokens
Your Template is now ready to use! Start from your main Dashboard. Click the Create New button, and then choose From Template.
In your Template Gallery, choose the Qwilr Template you want to use, and click on the tile to preview it.
Head to the top right corner of the Template preview, and click the Create Page button.
A form will pop up, with a field for each Token you've used. Fill in the personalization for each field, and then click Create Page again.
Just like that, your new page is personalized! (You can edit in any way you like from here.)
Maintaining your Account Tokens
You can add new Tokens to your account at any time. To get started, open any Template for editing (or create a new one).
Click the Tokens icon to open the list. Then type in the new label and click Add.
Need to remove a Token? Click on the 3-dot icon and choose Delete.
Note: If you remove a Token from your account's list, it will remain in any Templates that are already using it.
Tokens FAQ
Q: What if I want to use this Template with your CRM?
A: Currently, this feature isn't supported in our CRM integrations. If you're using our HubSpot or Salesforce integration, however, you can convert a Qwilr template to a CRM template at any time.
You'll lose access to the account tokens in this process. You'll be prompted to change them to existing tokens available for your CRM.
To change the Template to a CRM template, open the Tokens tool. Click on the CRM tab. If you haven't yet connected a CRM integration, you'll see a button to get started with that.
If you have already connected a CRM, you'll see its name in place of the CRM tab:
Q: Can I use Tokens in Blocks?
A: Yes, Tokens can be used in Blocks. However, they will only populate with data when the Blocks are part of the base template at the time of proposal generation. If you add Blocks with Tokens after the proposal has been generated, the Tokens will not automatically update with the correct information.
