Using Tokens in Content Templates | BG_CT_010

In this tutorial segment, you'll learn about using tokens within Infigo to dynamically display content on your storefront. Tokens allow you to import and display data from various parts of Infigo, such as user account details, search modules, and order information. They can be used in multiple areas where content templates are employed, like editable content blocks, enabling personalized and dynamic content delivery. The tutorial demonstrates how to access, copy, and insert tokens into your content, automatically updating the displayed information based on the context, such as the user logged in or specific data relevant to the page.

00:00:05:28 - 00:00:06:10
Okay.

00:00:06:10 - 00:00:09:13
Another thing that we have available
is tokens.

00:00:10:13 - 00:00:13:26
Now tokens look something like this

00:00:13:26 - 00:00:16:26
when you're actually looking at them
in the Infigo admin area.

00:00:17:16 - 00:00:20:15
They're available on many screens

00:00:20:15 - 00:00:24:20
where content templates are utilized,
such as within editable content blocks.

00:00:25:15 - 00:00:28:00
And what tokens allow you to do
is to import

00:00:28:00 - 00:00:31:00
dynamic data from elsewhere within Infigo.

00:00:31:10 - 00:00:34:12
So this covers loads of different
information where it could be

00:00:35:00 - 00:00:38:07
account details for the person
that's, logging in.

00:00:38:18 - 00:00:41:26
So let's say for example
you want to put welcome

00:00:42:14 - 00:00:45:10
Sam on the home page as they log in.

00:00:45:10 - 00:00:47:05
That will be done using a token.

00:00:47:05 - 00:00:50:05
And it will change
based on who was logging in.

00:00:50:15 - 00:00:53:20
You could include modules, which might be
additional bits of functionality.

00:00:53:25 - 00:00:55:25
One example is a search box.

00:00:55:25 - 00:00:57:12
order information.

00:00:57:12 - 00:01:01:03
Sometimes if you're writing an email,
let's say you can put loads

00:01:01:03 - 00:01:04:14
of different variable
variable bits of content on there.

00:01:05:27 - 00:01:08:26
Do you bear
in mind that tokens are often contextual.

00:01:08:26 - 00:01:13:22
So let's say if you see a few tokens
when you're building an email template,

00:01:14:02 - 00:01:15:23
you won't necessarily see exactly

00:01:15:23 - 00:01:18:03
the same tokens
when you're building your home page.

00:01:18:03 - 00:01:21:03
These are shown related to where you are
building something

00:01:21:27 - 00:01:26:06
worth noting as well that tokens
are not exclusive to content templates.

00:01:26:06 - 00:01:26:24
You can use them

00:01:26:24 - 00:01:30:20
without content templates, but
they can be used with content templates

00:01:30:27 - 00:01:33:27
and do compliment them very well.

00:01:34:05 - 00:01:37:05
So with that in mind.

00:01:39:19 - 00:01:42:19
Let's say I go to.

00:01:45:08 - 00:01:46:05
So many tabs open.

00:01:46:05 - 00:01:49:05
I don't know where I am right.

00:01:49:18 - 00:01:51:16
This time
I'm going to go to one of my editable

00:01:51:16 - 00:01:53:22
content box
just to demonstrate what I mean to you.

00:01:53:22 - 00:01:56:22
Here.

00:01:57:20 - 00:02:00:02
I'm going to go to my homepage.

00:02:03:00 - 00:02:05:02
Now if I scroll down a little bit,
you can see that

00:02:05:02 - 00:02:09:13
I've got all these available context
tokens that I can utilize

00:02:09:18 - 00:02:12:27
some to do with my actual storefront
itself, some to do with my account,

00:02:13:23 - 00:02:16:13
customer information, so on and so on.

00:02:16:13 - 00:02:19:07
All you need to do
is click on one of those to copy it,

00:02:19:07 - 00:02:22:07
and if you want to use it
within a content template,

00:02:22:13 - 00:02:25:13
just find the area of the content template
you want to use.

00:02:28:22 - 00:02:30:09
And then just paste it in

00:02:30:09 - 00:02:33:16
and wherever that, token
is being utilized.

00:02:33:27 - 00:02:36:26
When you're actually viewing the web page
itself, it will be replaced

00:02:36:26 - 00:02:39:26
by the relevant information.
