Additional Codes for Bulk E-Mails

We want to add further personalized information in a bulk e-mail that we want to send out to specific ConfTool user groups. However, the codes provided below the message field do not cover our requirements.
Are there additional codes available and/or is there a comprehensive list of all codes that can be used?

(A German version of this article is available.)

First, please make sure that you have understood the concept of codes that are being used in the message body of bulk e-mails.
You can find a full manual here: Sending Bulk E-Mails with ConfTool

There are several codes that you can use in addition to the codes provided in the system.
We have listed all additional codes below, sorted by recipient groups or purpose.

Please note that the codes are always inserted in the language currently selected by the person who sends out an e-mail.

Send E-Mails to a Group of Users & Send E-Mails to Participants

You can send the basic user information in bulk e-mails to users and participants.
In addition to the codes you find in the system, the following codes are also supported when you send bulk e-mails to either users or participants.
(Some of the codes are also supported in the other bulk mail functions, please simply test it and use the preview to check if it works.)

The fields below have to be enabled as fields of the user registration form here, otherwise the codes will be replaced with empty strings:
Overview => Settings => Settings for User Registration => Fields of the User Registration Form
