TaxDome shortcodes explained

When creating templates for email, chats, organizers, proposals, and jobs—or sending email in bulk—use shortcodes to be efficient and save time. These are codes that actual text automatically replaces, such as for a recipient’s name, address, account name, or the date. You can use all account and contact fields as shortcodes, including custom ones.
