Overview

Macros let you personalize the text inside your training modules — automatically inserting the right name, company detail, or date for each learner when they view the module.

How to add a macro to a training module

Find the macro you want in the reference table below.
Copy the macro key exactly as written.
Paste it into the text content of your training module.
Add a fallback value if required (see Fallback values section below).
Preview the module to confirm the macro resolves correctly before publishing.

Fallback values

Some macros depend on data that may not be filled in for every employee. For example, a manager's name or department. These are marked Fallback Required (✅) in the tables below.

When the data is missing, the macro renders as blank text. To avoid this, add a fallback value using | default: '[your text]' inside the macro:

In this example, if the learner has a manager assigned, the macro displays their manager’s name. If not, it displays "your manager" instead.

Available macros for training modules

Macros marked ✅ require a fallback value — see Fallback values section above.

Tips

Preview before publishing. Click Preview on your module overview page to confirm all macros resolve correctly and no values appear blank.
Always add fallbacks for macros marked Fallback Required. If a field isn't populated for an employee, the macro will render blank for users taking the training.
Only use macros from the list above. Any other macro key will render as an empty string.
