Short tags are variables that make it easy to include dynamic data like referral links and referral codes in your widget messaging. Short tags are aliases for the longer tags used by theme developers when they design widgets. This reference list the short tags you can use to customize messaging in the web portal.

Short Tags Example

The portal share message editor lets you change the default messages used for sharing. These messages can include short tags and template fields as Handlebars-style variables to make it easy to include dynamic data in your widget messaging. Some popular short codes examples are {{referralcode}} and {{twittersharelink}}. All short tags are aliases to longer commonly used template fields and simplify things like converting cents to dollars. Check out the developer reference at the bottom of this page for complete details.

Mappings Developer Reference

Every short tag gets wrapped to a long tag that is uses one of the theme context fields or helpers. Embedded template fields with corresponding short tag aliases will be replaced with their respective short tags when viewed in the portal share message editor. It is a two-way transformation so as a developer, you will always see the longer form and will never see short tags in variables, theme context, or anywhere except for the portal itself.
