# Setting up personalisation for Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Before setting up personalisation in Taxi from Salesforce Marketing Cloud, you'll need to [set up personalisation](https://docs.messagebird.com/taxi/Dynamic%20content,%20segmentation%20and%20personalisation/Personalisation/setting-up-personalisation-fields) in your account.

Personalisation fields in Salesforce use the following style of notation:

%%FirstName%%

These can be set up in the [personalisation](/taxi/dynamic-content-segmentation-and-personalisation/personalisation/what-is-personalisation.md) settings in Taxi.

These will become available in rich text fields in the editor.

You can add as much or as little code here as you like, so it’s possible to use Salesforce’s ampscript code to show different content based on gender, for example:

%%\[IF gender == 'Male' THEN]%%Sehr geehrter Herr %%Last\_Name%%,%%\[ELSEIF gender == 'Female' THEN]%%Sehr geehrte Frau %%Last\_Name%%,%%\[ELSE]%%Sehr geehrte Frau, Sehr geehrter Herr %%Last\_Name%%,%%\[ENDIF]%%

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bird.com/taxi/connectors/salesforce-marketing-cloud-connector/setting-up-personalisation-for-salesforce-marketing-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
