Creating certificates one by one quickly becomes frustrating. It takes time. It also makes mistakes more likely, particularly when every certificate needs different names or details. That’s where Certifier's dynamic attributes help.In this article, you’ll learn what attributes are and how they work. You’ll see how they let you create certificates in bulk while still personalizing each one for the recipient. We’ll also show which attributes are available by default and when it makes sense to create your own.Learn how to use attributes to speed up certificate creation and keep everything accurate.${{ section-tldr-start }}Attributes let you create certificates in bulk while automatically personalizing each one with recipient-specific data.Details like names, emails, dates, or course info are filled in from a spreadsheet - ID is generated by Certifier.You can fully style attributes in the certificate editor, just like regular text.${{ section-tldr-end }}<h2>What are attributes in Certifier? { Dynamic attributes in Certifier }</h2>Attributes&nbsp;are dynamic elements that you can use to create and personalize issued certificates.

Instead of creating a separate certificate for each person, you design one certificate template. Dynamic attributes then fill in the correct details for every recipient automatically.But there’s more to it than that:<h3>They save time, even for one certificate</h3>If you’re issuing a single certificate, attributes remove manual edits. You don’t change names or dates by hand. You add the data once, and Certifier handles the rest. This also reduces mistakes, like typos or missing details.<h3>They scale without extra effort</h3>If you’re issuing dozens or thousands of certificates, attributes become essential. The same design works for every recipient. Names, emails, dates, IDs, or grades are pulled in automatically. There's no need to double-check every certificate.<h3>They keep certificates consistent</h3>Every certificate follows the same layout and rules. Your branding is consistent and your certificates are professional, no matter how many you issue.<h3>They work with any setup</h3>Dynamic attributes work whether you:${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-start }}Add recipients manually${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-start }}Upload a spreadsheet${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-start }}Use integrations or automation${{ list-item-checkmark-yellow-end }}The process stays the same.

Well, yes – it is expected that once you make the dream certificates for your clients, it will finally be the highest time to send them.But of course, there are a couple of options for how you can do that.Some of them are more time-consuming – like sending certificates manually, and others are more convenient – like sending them by email.Let's get to know the fastest.Short on time? Watch this video and automate the certificate distribution:<iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GQ9yU1teZRg?showinfo=0"></iframe><h2>Email as the best way to send certificates { Emails as the best way to send certificates }</h2>Email is seen by many as the best way to deliver important documents to customers. The fact that the process itself is efficient, intuitive, and requires a few clicks speaks for itself. But that's not all.Additionally, you can include a lot of info in the email messages in addition to the certificate, as nothing limits you.Therefore, you can send in the email body extra congratulations, invite the intended recipient to subscribe to a newsletter, ask them to complete other courses, inform them about a discount, etc.&nbsp;And of course, you don't have to spend a lot of time on it!&nbsp;Sending such a large number of certificates does not require you to spend more time on this task. All you have to do is generate an actual PDF certificate and create one message for all participants. Then you attach the appropriate appendix to it, and that's the end.So there are a lot of benefits of sending certificates via email. They can all have a positive impact on your entire brand because they will:&nbsp;<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">build a strong bond with your audience,</li><li class="ql-align-justify">acquire many loyal customers,&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">improve brand reputation,&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">create you as a professional,&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">improve employee productivity,&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">relieve teams of tasks that can be automated,&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">and many more</li></ul>And finally: we are all impatient to some degree. We live fast, we want everything ASAP, we expect quick deliveries, quick responses, and of course, instant results.However, sending certificates quickly may seem unimportant, but on the other hand, it meets the expectations of customers.And this is, after all, incredibly valuable, right?<h2>Why you shouldn't send certificates manually { Reasons why you shouldn't do it manually }</h2>A business or individual that optimizes the repetitive tasks that require a large number of working hours will transform their business. As you already know, a great example of routine work that you can optimize is <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/how-to-make-a-certification-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">issuing certificates</a> – not one by one but in bulk.&nbsp;But why exactly you shouldn’t send your digital documents manually? Let’s see.<h3>Time-consuming</h3>Let's start with the most important fact: sending certificates manually is a long and tedious job – it's definitely nothing fun. There is no way to ship 500 files one by one. Do you have all day to do it? A week? We sincerely doubt it.&nbsp;Ok, with a few documents, it is possible – 10 credentials or diplomas should be able to be sent within an hour, but still, it's a relatively long time for such a task. What's more, the distribution of 50 documents is already a hard nut to crack.&nbsp;So yes, this approach is simply wasteful, but using automated solutions that allow certificates to be sent via email messages reduces your workload by dozens of hours.<h3>Unprofessional</h3>Another reason why you should consider not sending digital documents manually is that it's an unprofessional approach that doesn't portray your brand in a good light. Not only do your customers expect you to deliver a quality course or lessons, but they also demand proper service and follow-up after the course, including just delivering their credentials.Plus, keep your competitors in mind as well. What if they send out documents much faster and thus their customer satisfaction increases? Not only do they show themselves as professionals in the field, but they also have good recommendations. And that, in turn, can lead to your recipients too eventually abandoning your services in favor of someone who takes better care of them.&nbsp;<h3>Inefficient</h3>Your clients have made it their goal to finish a course, come to a webinar, complete leadership training, or just use your certified services. All they still need is that document to validate their newly acquired skills. This brings us to the next point – sending certificates manually is simply inefficient. And it doesn't just involve too much time.Manually issuing such documents takes up employee resources, leaving a particular part of your team simply busy with a task that, after all, could be done better via email. However, this way involves far fewer resources and delivers an even better customer experience.<h3>Unsafe</h3>By sending certificates manually and getting into a routine, you can forget many things, including security requirements. Unfortunately, yes, on the internet, you can be hacked in many different ways, so you need to invest in resources that will make sent documents safe.&nbsp;Therefore, if you are already creating and sending documents manually, it is better to install proven software that will protect you from infecting your computer, stealing your personal information, and making sure that you do not send viruses further.However, if you use reliable certificate software that has many security settings and creates and send certificates in bulk through email messages, you may already have additional security options. You can also use different e-mail options and <a href="https://www.titanhq.com/email-encryption/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">email encryption</a> to increase safety even more.<h3>Can be complicated</h3>And our concluding point: unfortunately, manually sending digital certificates is much more complicated than doing a few clicks and sending all of them at once.&nbsp;Imagine adding a document to each e-mail message and pasting the same text – or better yet, writing it from scratch. Well... it is not very straightforward.And even more incomparable is creating certificates from scratch, sending them one by one, using well-equipped software, and sending certificates in bulk. The difference between the two is not small – it's a gap.<h2>How to start? Use Certifier! { How to start? }</h2>Issuing both 10 and 1000 files can indeed take the same amount of time if you know what tools to use.
