Dynamic Tokens

Dynamic Tokens let your AI Agent personalize messages and automate responses with live data — like names, times, leads, or custom variables.
They turn your chat replies from static to contextual.

Dynamic Tokens are variables your AI Agent can use to pull or insert real-time information inside conversations, forms, and automations.

They act as placeholders — automatically filled in by data from users, lead forms, or external systems.

For example:

“Hi {{name}}, welcome back! Let’s pick up where we left off.”

Tokens make your AI feel personal, smart, and human — without manual scripting.

When to Use

Use Dynamic Tokens when you want your Agent to:

  • Personalize greetings and responses
  • Pass user data between Journey blocks
  • Insert real-time info from forms or external APIs
  • Display results from a Function or Webhook
  • Reuse context across multiple blocks or sessions
  • They’re the building blocks of adaptive, data-aware conversations.

How It Works

Tokens follow a simple pattern:

{{token_name}}

MagicBlocks automatically replaces the token with the latest known value during a conversation.

You can use tokens in:

  • Messages and prompts
  • Snippets and Tasks
  • Actions and follow-ups
  • Webhook payloads
  • Email or SMS notifications

Token Sources

Token Type

Description

Example

System Tokens

Auto-generated data (like session info, timestamps, device type).

{{session_id}}

,

{{date}}

,

{{device}}

User Tokens

Collected from form inputs or chat messages.

{{name}}

,

{{email}}

,

{{company}}

Journey Tokens

Data passed between blocks within the same conversation.

{{user_goal}}

,

{{lead_stage}}

Dynamic Tokens

Generated from Functions or Webhooks.

{{quote_amount}}

,

{{crm_status}}

Custom Tokens

Defined by you in Tasks, Snippets, or Scripts.

{{agent_tagline}}

,

{{special_offer}}

Example

Before Tokens:

“Hi! Thanks for chatting with us.”

With Tokens:

“Hi {{name}}, thanks for chatting with {{company_name}}! We’ll send a confirmation to {{email}} shortly.”

💡 The same message can instantly adapt to every user, every time — no hardcoding required.

How to Add Tokens

1. From a Form

Create a form field (e.g. Name, Email, Company).

Each field automatically becomes a token.

Example: Name → {{name}}, Email → {{email}}.

Use those tokens anywhere in your Journey or Actions.

2. From a Function

Output data in your Function as a named variable.

Reference it in chat using {{function_variable_name}}.

Example:

Function outputs { "quote_total": "$249" }

Use {{quote_total}} in your reply.

3. From a Webhook

Capture response data from an external system (like CRM or Google Sheet).

Map values to tokens in your payload or Action.

Example:

CRM returns {"status": "Qualified"}

Use {{status}} in your Journey message.

4. From Manual Input

Define your own static or temporary tokens using Snippets or Tasks.

Great for brand constants like {{company_name}} or {{cta_button}}.

Advanced Use Cases

Use Case

How Tokens Help

Lead Personalization

“Hey {{name}}, your quote for {{product}} is ready.”

CRM Updates

Insert

{{lead_stage}}

or

{{deal_value}}

pulled from your CRM webhook.

Scheduling

Show available slots using

{{calendar_time}}

.

Multi-Language Support

Insert translated strings or language codes dynamically.

Multi-Agent Context

Pass

{{agent_name}}

or

{{agent_goal}}

across blocks.

Token Management

You can view, edit, or test your tokens in:

Journey Block → Advanced → Settings

Forms (auto-generated tokens)

Functions (custom variable outputs)

Webhook Payloads (response mapping)

Tip: Always use lowercase and underscores for token names — e.g., {{user_email}}, not {{User Email}}.

Common Mistakes

Issue

Cause

Fix

Token shows as text (

{{name}}

)

No value assigned yet

Ensure it’s captured from a form or webhook

Wrong value

Token overwritten by later block

Check Journey order and variable names

Empty field

Function or webhook didn’t return data

Verify API response format

Formatting errors

Missing curly braces or spaces

Use

{{token_name}}

exactly

Unexpected capitalization

Case mismatch

Use consistent lowercase tokens

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive names — {{user_email}} > {{email}}
  • Keep tokens consistent across the workspace
  • Use Snippets for reusable phrases with tokens
  • Test tokens in Try My Agent after setup
  • Avoid exposing sensitive info (like passwords or IDs)

Why It Matters

Dynamic Tokens make your AI feel alive and aware.
They ensure every reply sounds like it was written just for that user — not copied from a script.

In practice, they:

  • Increase engagement and trust
  • Enable automation without losing personality
  • Keep your data synchronized across systems

FAQs

Q: Can I use tokens in Actions or Forms?
Yes — tokens work in messages, forms, actions, and webhook payloads.

Q: What happens if a token has no value?
It will render as blank. Add fallback text in your message:
{{name | fallback: "there"}} → "Hi there!"

Q: Are tokens case-sensitive?
Yes. {{Name}}{{name}}. Always use consistent lowercase.

Q: Can I create global tokens for all Agents?
Currently, tokens are Agent-specific. Use Snippets or Key Facts for global variables.
