Tutorial: Configure Org Settings
Org-level settings define the building blocks that every template in your account can use — attributes for audience segmentation, metrics for measuring success, and themes for guiding variant tone. Setting these up before creating templates saves time and produces better results.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You need admin access to your JustAI org.
- Have a rough idea of how you segment your audience and what metrics matter to your team.
Step 1: Open Org Settings
Section titled “Step 1: Open Org Settings”Go to Organization Settings → Template Defaults at:
https://console.justwords.ai/settings?tab=Template%20DefaultsThis is where you’ll configure attributes, metrics, and themes that are available to all templates.
Step 2: Set up attributes
Section titled “Step 2: Set up attributes”Attributes define how you segment your audience. When you create a template, these attributes are available for variant targeting — the AI generates different copy for different segments.
Choose your first 1–2 attributes
Section titled “Choose your first 1–2 attributes”Start simple. Pick attributes that you know affect how people respond to your messaging.
Good first attributes:
| Attribute | Type | Example values |
|---|---|---|
subscription_tier | String | free, premium, enterprise |
lifecycle_stage | String | new, active, at_risk, churned |
customer_ltv | Numeric | low ($0–$100), medium ($101–$500), high ($501+) |
locale | String | en-us, es-es, fr-fr |
Configure a string attribute (example)
Section titled “Configure a string attribute (example)”Let’s set up subscription_tier:
- Click Add Attribute.
- Name it
subscription_tier. - Set the type to String.
- Add options:
free,premium,enterprise. - Add aliases for data quality — e.g., map
"trial","basic","starter"→free. - Set a default value (often your largest segment).
Configure a numeric attribute (example)
Section titled “Configure a numeric attribute (example)”For customer_ltv:
- Click Add Attribute.
- Name it
customer_ltv. - Set the type to Numeric.
- Set the source attribute (the field name in your CRM, e.g.,
total_spend). - Define buckets:
| Bucket | Range |
|---|---|
low | $0 – $100 |
medium | $101 – $500 |
high | $501+ |
Set CRM accessors
Section titled “Set CRM accessors”Each attribute needs an accessor — the syntax that tells JustAI how to read the value from your CRM. This varies by ESP:
| ESP | Syntax |
|---|---|
| Braze | {{ custom_attribute.${subscription_tier} }} |
| Customer.io | {{ customer.subscription_tier }} |
| Iterable | Handlebars syntax — see Iterable integration |
For full details, see Attribute Configuration.
Step 3: Configure metrics
Section titled “Step 3: Configure metrics”Metrics define what “winning” means for your experiments. Set up the metrics your team cares about so they’re available in every template.
| Metric | Best for |
|---|---|
| Open rate | Subject line and preheader testing |
| Click rate | CTA and body content testing |
| Conversion rate | Revenue and signup campaigns |
| Custom events | App-specific actions (e.g., feature_used) |
When you create a template, you’ll select one of these as the Key Metric that Auto-Tune and experiment shipping use to determine winners.
For full details, see Metric Configuration.
Step 4: Set up themes
Section titled “Step 4: Set up themes”Themes are reusable writing guidelines that shape how variants are generated. They describe your content approach, not your audience.
Start with 3–5 themes
Section titled “Start with 3–5 themes”Pick themes that represent distinct messaging strategies your team wants to test:
| Theme | When to use |
|---|---|
urgency | Time-sensitive offers, expiring trials, limited inventory |
value | ROI-focused, cost savings, benefits |
curiosity | Teasers, re-engagement, “see what’s new” |
trust | Security, reliability, social proof, testimonials |
friendly | Relationship-building, casual tone, personal check-ins |
When you generate variants in a template, selecting a theme tells the AI to create copy with that specific approach. You can analyze which themes perform best across your campaigns over time.
For full details, see Themes Configuration and Theme Continuity.
Step 5: Verify your setup
Section titled “Step 5: Verify your setup”Before creating templates, do a quick check:
- At least 1–2 attributes configured with correct CRM accessors
- Key metrics set up (at minimum: open rate, click rate)
- 3–5 themes defined that match your messaging strategy
- Aliases added for any inconsistent CRM data
What’s next
Section titled “What’s next”With org settings in place, you’re ready to create templates that inherit these defaults:
- Create Your First Template
- Generate & Refine Variants
- Localization — use attributes for locale-based routing
