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 |

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
or
pulled from your CRM webhook. |
Scheduling | Show available slots using
. |
Multi-Language Support | Insert translated strings or language codes dynamically. |
Multi-Agent Context | Pass
or
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 (
) | 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
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.
