Customize your cards
Open your program
Go to the "Communication" tab and scroll down to reach the "Card Message" section
Personalize your card(s)!
You can use the following variables in your cards:
{{first_name}}
{{company}}
{{coworker.full_name}} (in the match card only)
{{coworker.email }} (in the match card only)
{{organizer.full_name}} or {{organizer.first_name}} for the meeting's organizer. This merge tag allows you to randomly select a member from the group to be responsible for organizing the coffee. The Meeting's organizer is not the Admin.
Slack and MS Teams cards are editable in markdown language. Click here for tips on formatting options.
Note that, in Microsoft Teams, the match card automatically includes 3 buttons at the bottom of the card: "Schedule your meetup", "Start a chat", and "Start a call".
Basic formatting options
Headings
To create a heading, add number signs (#) in front of a word or phrase. The number of number signs you use should correspond to the heading level. For example, to create a heading level three (<h3>), use three number signs (e.g., ### My Header).
Bold
To bold text, add two asterisks before and after a word or phrase. To bold the middle of a word for emphasis, add two asterisks without spaces around the letters.
Example:
**I love RandomCoffee**
Italic
To italicize text, add one asterisk before and after a word or phrase. To italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add one asterisk without spaces around the letters.
Example:
*I love RandomCoffee*
Bold and italic
To emphasize text with bold and italics at the same time, add three asterisks before and after a word or phrase. To bold and italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add three asterisks without spaces around the letters.
Example:
***I love RandomCoffee***
Blockquotes
To create a blockquote, add a > in front of a paragraph.
Example:
> This is a quote
Add images
You can add images in your MS Teams/Slack card if you have a public link to your image.
To add an image, add an exclamation mark (!), followed by alt text in brackets, and the path or URL to the image asset in parentheses.
Example:
Add links
To create a link, enclose the link text in brackets (e.g., [RandomCoffee]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., (https://www.random-coffee.com)).
Example:
[RandomCoffee](https://www.random-coffee.com)
Another example with the booking link:
[Schedule your virtual coffee now!]({{schedule_meeting_link}})
