How to Use Personalized Email Bodies for Each Prospect (Workaround)
Some of our users want to send hyper-personalized first emails that vary completely from prospect to prospect, while keeping follow-up emails consistent across everyone.
Here’s a simple workaround to achieve this in Manyreach using custom tags.
Use Case
You want to:
Send unique first emails to each prospect (no fixed template).
Add follow-up emails that are the same for everyone.
Avoid manually writing every first email within the platform.
The Workaround (Step-by-Step)
1. Add a New Column in Your Prospect Sheet
Open your CSV sheet that you’ll upload into Manyreach.
Create a new column named:
EMAIL_BODY
In this column, add the personalized email content for each prospect.
Important:
Do not use commas inside the email content, as CSV files treat commas as field separators and that can break the format.
2. Create a Custom Tag in Manyreach
Go to CRM → Settings → Custom Variables in Manyreach.
Rename a Custom Field.
Create a new field called exactly:
EMAIL_BODY
Save changes
This makes sure the CSV column gets correctly mapped when uploading.

3. Upload Your CSV File
Go to the Prospects section in campaign
Click Upload CSV and choose your file
During field mapping, ensure that EMAIL_BODY from your CSV maps to the EMAIL_BODY tag in Manyreach.
4. Create Your Campaign
While writing your initial email step, simply insert this merge tag:
{{EMAIL_BODY | newline_to_br}}
Manyreach will now auto-fill each prospect’s unique email content during the campaign.
5. Add Your Follow-Up Steps
Proceed to create follow-up steps as usual.
These emails can remain standard and will be sent to everyone, as per your configured gap settings.
Things to Watch Out For
No commas inside EMAIL_BODY values in your CSV
Make sure the column name and the merge tag match exactly (EMAIL_BODY)
If you include links in the body, ensure they are fully qualified (https://...)
Result
Your first email is now fully customized per prospect, and all follow-up steps are uniform, just how you want it, without manually typing every message inside the platform.
