Wildcards function as versatile placeholders in notification texts, allowing for dynamic customization of messages across various channels such as SMS, emails, and now, push notifications. These placeholders are automatically filled with specific customer and appointment details at the time of sending, ensuring each message is personalized and relevant.

For instance, consider an Appointment Reminder template utilizing wildcards. It could look like this:

'Hey, ##firstname##, your appointment is scheduled for ##appointmenttime## on ##appointmentdate##. Find us at ##locationstreetaddress##. Looking forward to seeing you at ##businessname##!'

Such templates can be creatively crafted for diverse notification types, including Email, Text, and Push notifications, providing a seamless and engaging communication experience for your customers.

The full list of supported wildcards:
##firstname## - Customer first name
##lastname## - Customer last name

​##customerfullname## - Customer full name
##customerphone## - Customer phone
##customeremail## - Customer email
##customerbirthday## - Customer birthday


​##businessname## - Name of your barbershop or salon
