Dynamic Content
Also known as: Live Content, Real-time Content
Dynamic content is email content that updates based on who is viewing it or when they open it. It can pull in data like products, offers, or status in real time so one email feels tailored to each person.
Dynamic content is email content that changes based on the person or the moment. The email can show different products, messages, or data for each subscriber. It uses information like behavior, location, or customer status to shape what they see. This makes the same email feel personal without building many separate versions.
Dynamic content matters because it helps you send emails that feel relevant. You can highlight current offers, recent activity, or live account details without manual work. Many teams use it for product recommendations, live countdowns, and fresh inventory updates. Done well, it can lift opens, clicks, and revenue from the same list.
A simple starting point is to show different product blocks based on what someone browsed or bought. Use clear rules so each segment sees items that match their interests. Test one dynamic area at a time so you can measure the impact. Keep a fallback version ready for subscribers who have little or no data.
