Add a Dynamic Date to Your Messages with Date Snippets

A dynamic date is a way to insert dates into your messages that are specified number of days after the date the message is sent. For example, a great use case for a dynamic date is setting the expiration date for a coupon in an auto-response when someone opts-in. The dynamic date will allow you to specify an actual date that coupon will expire even though you do not know when the message will be sent to a customer. 

SlickText allows you to use date snippets to insert a dynamic date into your messages. 

How to Insert a Date Snippet

A date snippet will allow you to insert a specific date into your messages that is a number of days from the date the message is sent. It will also allow you to define the date format. You can insert a date snippet from anywhere in SlickText where you can create a message, including your inbox, campaigns and auto-responses.

1. In any message field, insert a date snippet by typing .
2. Specify the number of days from the date of send by typing the number of days. For example, will insert a date that is 7 days after the date the message is sent.
3. By default, SlickText will format the date as Month/Day. You can specify a different format by adding a letter that corresponds to the format below. For example, will use this format: Month/Day/Year.
