[syncly_user_meta] Shortcode

< 1 min read Updated Jun 26, 2026

Overview

The [‎ syncly_user_meta] shortcode displays a GHL contact field value inline on any page. It reads from WordPress user meta (populated by field mapping sync), so no live API call is made on each page load.

Basic usage

[‎ syncly_user_meta field="first_name"]

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
`field`	—	Required. WordPress user meta key or core user field name.
`default`	empty	Value to display if the field is empty.
`sync_if_empty`	`false`	If `true`, triggers a one-time GHL sync to populate the field if empty. Throttled to once per hour.

Examples

Hello, [‎ syncly_user_meta field="first_name" default="there"]!

Your exam date: [‎ syncly_user_meta field="exam_date" default="Not set"]

Advisor: [‎ syncly_user_meta field="advisor_name" sync_if_empty="true"]

Guest personalization via ?ghl_cid=

If Enable Contact ID Personalization is active in Settings > Personalization, non-logged-in visitors arriving via a GHL email link with ?ghl_cid={{contact.id}} can also see personalized content through this shortcode. Specific fields can be hidden from guests via the hidden fields list in the same settings tab.
