Variables are placeholders you drop into a broker email template. When you email a broker from a load, Spot fills each one in with that load's details — so one template covers every lane without retyping.
How variables work
Write your template once and put a variable wherever a load detail belongs. Type the variable in double curly braces, like {{origin_city}}. When you send from a load, Spot swaps it for the real value on that load.
Common variables
{{origin_city}}— the load's origin city{{date}}— the pickup date{{mc}}— the broker's MC number{{company}}— the broker company
These are the ones you'll reach for most; more variables are available in the template editor.
Example
A template written like this:
Hi, is the load out of {{origin_city}} on {{date}} still available?
I run this lane and can cover it for {{company}}.
Sent from a Chicago load picking up tomorrow, the broker sees the real city, date, and company already filled in — no editing per load.
Good to know
- Variables only fill in when you email from a load — that's where Spot reads the details.
- Your signature is added on top of the template automatically.
