# $Network

A global merge field type to use when referencing Experience Cloud site details in a Visualforce email template.

## Usage

Use dot notation to access your Experience Cloud site’s name and login page URL.The login page URL depends on whether the site uses the standard or a custom login page.

**note:** The `$Network` global merge field type works only in the context of Visualforce emails for Experience Cloud sites.

For more flexibility, you can create custom Experience Cloud site email templates in Visualforce. For a Visualforce email template, use the `$Network` global merge field type and its properties, as described in this table. These fields are populated only in Visualforce Experience Cloud site email templates.
