B2C Behavior:

When the email is being sent in the context of an account that is not On File (B2C, anonymous or logged-in) then only the [CustomerClass] tag is available and any of the other tags will replace with blank values.

Replacement Function Tags

The following table provides the list of available Tag Functions that can be used within the all system emails.

Function tags are written within the HTML body and must be contained within opening and closeing double brackets - "[[" and "]]", for example:

[[@IFERROR(@FORMATDATE(@ADDDAYS(@LATER([PurchaseDate], [LastServiceDate]), 366), "MMMM d, yyyy"), "a date in the near future")]]

In the example above, a function is indicated by the use of double square brackets, and the @ sign is a character that indicates a function is being performed, and in this example a function can contain a function and order of operations is from the inside out). The parameters can be replacement tags by the use of square bracket syntax, though actual values could be submitted by not using brackets around the parameters.

If a function cannot evaluate a result, has invalid parameters, or a calculation error occurs, then an blank string is returned.
