How do I create a dynamic content block based on dynamic lists?

You can use both the old messages editor as the new editor to make parts of your message dynamic. In the old editor, this works per content block and in the new editor this is possible on different levels, such as per row and per section.

New messages editor

In the new message editor you can make multiple parts of your message dynamic, namely sections and rows. On this page you will find an explanation of the differences between the two. You can determine per row and column whether this should be dynamic. You do this by clicking on the section/row and going to the Settings tab in the left menu.

  4. Now you will see a symbol next to Section in the top left of the structure, meaning it is dynamic content. Only the recipients who are in this specific dynamic list will get to see this section or row.
