Liquid Templating, Plus a Velocity Converter for Marketo Migrators

Liquid is now integrated with Paminga's builders and Tokens — far more robust personalized content, everywhere it matters. And if you're migrating off Marketo, we built a Velocity → Liquid converter to do the painful part of the move for you.

Two updates that landed together. Here's what each one unlocks.

Liquid, Everywhere​

You can now use Liquid in your Emails, Landing Pages, CTAs, Forms — and in Tokens.

If you've ever wanted to do logic in your content — conditional blocks, defaults, formatting, math on numeric fields, light templating — Liquid is the layer that lets you. It's a well-known, well-documented templating language. Most of you have probably already used it without realizing.

Combine Liquid with Brand Kits and folder Tokens, and personalization stops being a per-asset chore. Set values once. Logic happens at render time. Same asset, customized per contact.

A Velocity Converter for Marketo Migrators​

Marketo uses Velocity for templated content. Paminga uses Liquid. Same idea, different syntax — and rewriting every template by hand is exactly the kind of busywork that makes a CRM/MAP swap take three months longer than it should.

We built a Velocity → Liquid converter so you don't have to.

❌ Don't paste a Velocity block into a Paminga Email and pray.
✅ Do drop your Velocity template into the converter, copy the Liquid output, and paste it where you need it.

It handles the structural translation — conditionals, loops, variable references — so you can spend your migration time on strategy and QA, not on rewriting #if blocks.

Why This Matters​

Most "personalization" in MAPs is field substitution wearing a fancy hat. Liquid moves the bar — your content can react to the contact, the Account, the campaign Token, the time of day, anything in scope.

Combine that with Paminga's other render-time machinery — Brand Kits, Tokens, and Conditional Sections, Rows, and Elements — and you can ship far fewer assets that do far more work.

Get Started​

  1. Open any new-builder Email, Landing Page, CTA, or Form
  2. Drop a Liquid expression into a text element — {{ contact.firstName | default: "there" }} is a fine first try
  3. If you're coming from Marketo, paste a Velocity block into the Velocity Converter and copy the Liquid output back

Tell us what you're trying to template — we'd love to fold the hard cases into our examples and docs.
