You can use variables when adjusting the header, greeting, text, and signature for your store's email notifications.
You can find a list of variables supported in an email notification and their respective values by clicking on the help icon (tooltip) displayed next to the field you wish to edit.
The variables enable you to provide a placeholder for information that changes from one email message to another or is unknown to you (like the name of the intended recipient of the email notification, an order ID, or a link to the order details). They also enable you to re-use the information you have provided somewhere else in the Admin area without having to write it again in the notification fields.
For example, if you want the greeting of an email notification to mention the user it is sent to, you can specify it as "ear %recipient_name%!". As a result, the email will address the user "Dear First_name Last_name!" based on the user profile data.
Similarly, to place your store's name in the email notification signature, first, specify it in your Store Profile (Store Setup > Store Profile) and then add it to your email notification signature using the %company_name% variable in the text. This way, the company name will appear in the email notification coming to your customer's inbox.
