Spintax syntax
{Option A|Option B|Option C} — the sending tool randomly selects one option for each email sent.
Where to use Spintax
Opening phrases: {Hi|Hey|Hello} {{firstName}} — {hope you're having a good week|quick note for you|reaching out with an idea} Transition phrases: {I noticed|I came across|I saw} that {{company}} {is growing fast|has been expanding|is making moves} Value statements: We help companies {reduce costs|save time|increase efficiency} by {automating|streamlining|optimizing} their {{process}} CTAs: {Would it be worth a quick chat?|Open to a brief conversation?|Worth connecting for 15 minutes?}
Best practices
Use Spintax in every section of the email. This creates maximum variation. Ensure all options are natural and contextually appropriate. Test that every combination reads well — some random combinations can sound awkward. Use 3 to 5 options per Spintax group for sufficient variation.
The math
An email with 5 Spintax groups, each with 3 options, creates 3^5 = 243 unique combinations. This means 243 different emails from a single template — each appearing unique to spam filters.
Spintax limitations
Spintax creates surface-level variation. Spam filters using machine learning can still detect structural patterns. Combine Spintax with genuine personalization (Level 2 or 3) for maximum effectiveness.
