# Template Variables

Make your slide more personal by adding dynamic information to it using Template Variables. Template variables are a way for you to embed dynamic pieces of text into your slides.

Say for example you want to greet a customer by their first name. To do this, you would do the following:

1. Create a survey with a copy slide that says: "Welcome {{ first\_name }}! It's nice to meet you"
2. The code within the brackets will be replaced with a template variable. To replace it add the following javascript code to your embed code (where FIRST\_NAME is replaced by the code to get the user's first name from your website):

```
<script>
window.Zigpoll.templateVariables = {
    first_name: FIRST_NAME
}
</script>
```

This will make it so that, if the FIRST\_NAME variable is "Jason" it will read "Welcome Jason!"

All of the slide fields are editable in this way. You can include template variables in the title, subtitle, copy, or label fields.

Template Variables follow all the syntax and include all the features of the [handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com) library. So if you want to perform some advanced logic, you can consult the handlebars documentation and if it is a valid handlebars template, it will render in your Zigpoll as well with any Template Variables you provide.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zigpoll.com/embed/template-variables.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
