Improvements to the variable insertion UX in the Unlayer editor:
1. Reorganized mergeTags from a flat object into 3 logical groups so
Unlayer's "Merge Tags" dropdown shows them under sub-headers
instead of a long flat list:
• Client (firstname, lastname, email, description)
• Offre (amount, gift_url, expiry, commitment_months)
• Système (year)
Format switched from { id: {name, value} } to grouped array
format (Unlayer accepts both, but groups give better UX).
2. Added `sample` field to each merge tag — Unlayer renders these
as the visible content while editing, so the canvas shows
"Louis Tremblay" / "60 $" / "https://gft.link/abc" instead of
literal "{{firstname}} {{lastname}}". Makes the live preview
look like real content during edit. Substitution still happens
server-side at send time via Mustache.
3. New toolbar hint button (code icon, grey) explaining where to
find merge tags in the Unlayer UI:
"Insertion : clic dans un texte → barre flottante → icône {}
Merge Tags. Marche aussi dans les champs URL (boutons, images,
mailto)."
This addresses a common discoverability issue: users don't
always realize variables work in URL fields too (e.g. setting
a button's "Action URL" to {{gift_url}} so each recipient gets
their own Giftbit link).
