How to include live data in the Persuasive Notifications
Create Social Proof for your website
Convertize gives you the option to show live data from your website in persuasive notifications. You can, for example, show how many people visit your webpages or how many items of you products are left in stock. In this way, you can create great Social Proof for your website.
Insert Dynamic Values
To show live data, you need to insert Dynamic Values. This is an advanced feature that dynamically updates your notification message to include live data from your website. Please make sure that you follow the instructions carefully.
- To use Dynamic Values Insertion with your notifications, you need to insert a special piece of code into your notification message
- Let’s say that you want to use a notification to display the quantity of rooms available in your hotel. You would simply insert a small code snippet into your webpage (examples shown below) and Convertize would automatically replace the code with the dynamic value that you push through the snippet
- This feature allows you to display live data, making your message more specific and more persuasive
List of dynamic variables
The following table lists the dynamic variables used by the notifications available in the Notification Workspace and the snippet of code that must be pushed in order to show the notification.
Place this code right after the main Convertize.io snippet so that the dynamic values are passed to the notification.
You do not need to place this code on every page of your website. You can only place it on the pages where you will be using the notifications, along with the dynamic values.

Custom Values
You are also able create your own dynamic values around the ones we have built, up to 5 using the “your_custom_value” 1 to 5. For example, you can use a message like “Discount only available until {your_custom_value1}”, replacing {your_custom_value1} in the Javascript code, e.g. “tonight” or “22:00 Today”
If a custom value is longer than 20 characters, it will be truncated to the nearest preceding space below 20 characters, so that the message displays entire words only.
