TaxDome shortcodes

When creating templates for email, chats, organizers, proposals and jobs—or sending email in bulk—use shortcodes, or dynamic data, 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.
