# Dynamic email content

In Apteco Email, you can create dynamic email content by displaying different images to different recipients using the Selector variable for personalised content.

## Defining selector variables

Before you start, ensure you have a [Selector variable](<https://help.apteco.com/en/faststats/analysis/selections/using-variables-in-selections/selector-variables/index.md>) defined in your Apteco FastStats system.

The goal here is to configure your email template so that it displays different images based on the category assigned to each person.

## Configuring your Apteco Email channel

To configure your Apteco Email channel:

1. Open Apteco Orbit.
2. Click the **person icon** in the right-hand corner and click **Application Settings**.
3. Click **Campaigning Channel Editor**.
4. Edit the relevant Apteco Email campaign.
5. On the **Parameters tab**, add the field name into the **File Mapping** setting.
6. Enter the field description into the **File Mapping** textbox. If you have multiple fields, separate them with a pipe character (|).
7. Click **Save All Changes**.

## Editing the email template

To create a dynamic email template, follow these steps:

1. Open the **email builder**.
2. Choose **transactional** templates.
3. If you are editing an existing template, click **Edit**. Alternatively, click **Create New Template** and choose a template from the gallery or create one from scratch.
4. Within your template, you can add image placeholders.

This example has 600 x 160 images across the email header.

To add images, click the image box and then click **Image**.

You can then upload a different image and specify a URL. 5. To create multiple sections with different images, click on a section and use the copy icon on the right-hand side.

You can then replace the images in these sections.

## Setting the conditions

For each section in your email template, you need to add conditions to control when they are displayed.

To add a condition:

1. Click on a section and then click **Add Condition**.
2. Select the **Only If** option.
3. Enter the variable description in the left textbox. Set it to ‘equals’ and then enter the code of the category associated with that image. For example:
4. Repeat this process for each section with different images.
5. Continue creating your template, and save and publish it when finished.

## Adding personalisation fields to a campaign

To add personalisation to a campaign you can:

- Add a variable as an **Additional Field** into the channel definition.
- Add the variable as a **Personalisation field** into the email section of the campaign journey.
