#4 - Generating Spintax
Using Spintax to Personalize Cold Emails
Spintax helps make every email look unique โ without writing dozens of variations manually.
AudienceSend supports Spintax in subject lines and body copy, so you can rotate language automatically and improve deliverability by avoiding duplicate content patterns.
What Is Spintax?
Spintax stands for โspinning syntax.โ Itโs a way to write multiple versions of a word, phrase, or sentence using a single line of text. When the campaign sends, AudienceSend randomly selects one option for each contact.
Basic Format:
{Option A|Option B|Option C}
Example:
Hi {{first_name}}, I {noticed|saw|read} that {{company}} is growing.
AudienceSend will randomly choose:
- โnoticedโ
- โsawโ
- or โreadโ
Resulting in a natural-looking variation every time.
How the Spintax Token Generator Works
When composing your message in AudienceSend:
- Place your cursor inside the subject or body field
- Click the Spintax Token Generator icon (usually a
{}
symbol)
- Enter multiple versions of a word or phrase
- Click Insert Token
AudienceSend will automatically format it like:
{hello|hi|hey}
You can use multiple tokens across the email to spin greetings, verbs, closings, and even call-to-actions.
How to Generate Your Own Spintax (Manual or Free Tools)
If you prefer to control the phrasing yourself or want to generate variations externally:
Option 1: Use a Free Spintax Generator
Use tools like:
- Prepostseo Spintax Generator
Steps:
- Enter 3โ5 variations per sentence or phrase
- Copy the generated Spintax block
- Paste it directly into AudienceSend
Option 2: Use ChatGPT to Generate It
How to Use
- Copy the prompt below.
- Paste it into ChatGPT (or any AI writing assistant).
- Replace
[YOUR SERVICE OR OFFER]
and[YOUR IDEAL AUDIENCE]
with your specifics.
- Submit and get a spintax-formatted cold email template for use in your outreach platform.
Prompt to Copy
Write a cold email template for [YOUR SERVICE OR OFFER], targeting [YOUR IDEAL AUDIENCE].
For each key phrase or sentence, give me 10-20 alternative variations in [option1|option2|option3|...] spintax format so I can use this email with a cold email sending platform.
Example: [Hi|Hello|Hey there]
Use merge tags like {{first_name}} or {{company_name}} where appropriate.
