Merge Tags Reference

What Are Merge Tags?

Merge tags are placeholders you insert into notification emails, confirmation messages, and workflow actions. Formcierge replaces them with actual values at runtime.

Syntax

All merge tags use curly-brace notation:

{tag:identifier}

Available Tags

Tag	Replaced with
{form:title}	The title of the submitted form
{form:id}	The form post ID
{entry:id}	The submission entry ID
{entry:date}	Submission date (Y-m-d)
{entry:time}	Submission time (H:i)
{entry:ip}	Submitter IP address
{entry:all_fields}	HTML table of all field labels and values
{field:field_id}	Value of the field with the given ID
{site:name}	WordPress site name
{site:url}	WordPress site URL
{admin:email}	WordPress admin email

Using the Tag Picker

In the notification editor, click the {} button to open the merge tag picker. All available tags, including field-specific tags for your form, are listed with search. Click a tag to insert it at the cursor position.

Field Tags

For field-specific tags, use the field ID shown in the field settings panel:

Dear {field:first_name},

Thank you for your enquiry. We will reply to {field:email} within 2 business days.

Your message: {field:message}

Custom Merge Tags

Register your own merge tags using the formcierge_merge_tags filter:

add_filter( 'formcierge_merge_tags', function ( $tags, $form_id, $entry_id ) {
    $tags['custom:order_number'] = 'ORD-' . $entry_id;
    return $tags;
}, 10, 3 );
