You could use a custom filter to do this. Here's a simple example I use for mailing lists which replaces #NAME with the name of the recipient:

-module(filter_inject_firstname).

-export([inject_firstname/3]).

-include("zotonic.hrl").

inject_firstname(Body, undefined, _Context) ->
    Body;
inject_firstname(Body, Recipient, _Context) ->
    Val = case proplists:get_value(props, Recipient, []) of
              Props when is_list(Props) ->
                  [{email, proplists:get_value(email, Recipient)},
                   {name_first, proplists:get_value(name_first, Props)},
                   {name_surname, proplists:get_value(name_surname, Props)},
                   {name_surname_prefix, proplists:get_value(name_surname_prefix, Props)}];
              _ ->
                  [{email, proplists:get_value(email, Recipient)}]
          end,
    Name = proplists:get_value(name_first, Val),
    iolist_to_binary(re:replace(Body, "#NAME", Name, [global])).
