# Email subject placeholders

When creating [email subtasks](https://intercom.help/usepixie/en/articles/5208629-email-subtasks), or using the mail merge feature, you can add date placeholder values in the email subject, along with the client name.

If you'd like to add date placeholders to the body of the email, there is a [separate feature available in the email template composer](https://intercom.help/usepixie/en/articles/4679471-date-placeholders-in-emails).

The table below lists how the various email subject placeholders are formatted, assuming a current date of 1 January 2024.

You need to copy the exact token as listed below into the email subject.
