FantasticStay's Dynamic Variables ("DVs") are like smart placeholders for data. When used effectively, Dynamic Variables can be an extremely powerful tool for increasing efficiency in messages, automations, and saved replies. Each Dynamic Variable pulls in data from somewhere else when an action involving the DV is executed.

EXAMPLE:

When you type a message using the {{guest_first}} variable, the data that is substituted for {{guest_first}} is the guest's first name as it appears on the reservation. So what does that look like in practice where an Airbnb guest tries to book and the guest's first name, as listed on the Airbnb profile is "John"?
