Yesterday I posted about variables when sending mails using ActiveCampaign.
Talking about variables like %RSS:ITEM:TITLE% inside an email I send using ActiveCampaign will of course trigger ActiveCampaign to replace these variables 🙄. Stupid of me!
The email didn't make any sense without them variables.
What I should have done is one of two things:
✅ Escaping characters
By replacing some characters in the variable with special HTML Escape Characters. For example, by replacing the character % with %. This is what I ended up doing.
✅ Add invisible html tags
By adding a <span/> somewhere in the variable, like %RSS:ITEM:TITLE<span>%.
To use either one of these solutions depends on how your editor treats HTML. In WordPress you need to convert your Paragraph block to Custom HTML to apply this.
