Dynamic Personalization Token for Day of Week

If I were to start an email with:

 

Happy <day of the week>, ___

There's currently no personalization token that would autofil the day of the week that email is be sent on. I'm aware of the fact that this would be a dynamic value but as there's only 7 days in a week, I can't imagine this should be too difficult to figure out.

AGREED! I'm looking for this same functionality!

Same! We'd like to be able to send an email saying something like: Can I call you mid-morning on {{2_business_days_from_now}} for a quick 10-minute conversation?

I would really like to start emails "Happy Xday" as well - was a solution to this ever found?

I would love this feature as well. I am looking to have a customized personalize field in some of my templates and/or sequences that automatically updates the text to read a day of the week two business days from now.  For example, I have text in a template that says: Can you please share your availability for tomorrow or Thursday?  I'd like the ability to make "Thursday" update automatically based on 2 business days from today's date. Id also like the function to only include business days (e.g. Monday - Friday).

Hi team posting on behalf of my awesome customer: 

 

Currently they are creating emails where they have to manually add the day of the week for each email. they would benefit greatly from being able to use a personalisation token that will recognise which day of the week it is and set it as Have a great Monday! as an example. 

 

thanks team!

Yes! We want to insert the current month name for the first few weeks of the month and say, "Can you meet in [CURRENT MONTH]" with logic that switches to the following month when we're a week out.

Yes please to this functionality. I want to move our sales outreach into Hubspot from Quickmail but currently there is reluctance to do so due to the inability to say 'let's book a meeting on [+2 days]' etc.

How do we get someone from HubSpot to respond to this? I had this functionality in Outreach when I used it 6 years ago.

I could not agree more! It would also be amazing to have time of day so our emails could be furether personalized as such:

Good [Time of Day] Jessie,

Good Morning

Good Afternoon
Good Evening

Three years later and is there a fix?  @hubspot, perhaps unveil this at #INBOUND23.

Agreed! I have a template for an email that goes out monthly, and I would love to have the subject line me {MONTH} Report Name but currently I have to do it manually 😕

This is a great idea. Would love more flexibility with dynamic language and messaging without the use of properties.
