Token NAME : $typeofcustomer$

Answer 1

Seems like "typeofcustomer" is your custom facet, make sure you've configured everything correctly for custom facets. I've explained in below blogs. https://sitecorehacks.wordpress.com/2020/08/02/sitecore-xconnect-custom-facets-part-i/ https://sitecorehacks.wordpress.com/2020/08/22/sitecore-xconnect-custom-facets-part-ii/

Once you're sure, your custom facet is set up correctly and values are being saved against that facet. Follow below steps for custom token:

1.Create a custom dispatch task:

• Create a custom dispatch task class Eg. CustomerDispatchTask.cs -> In this class, in the GetContacts method, return your custom facet along with default facets.
• Update the Sitecore.EmailExperience.ContentManagement.config

2. Override the default token map:

• Create your custom token map by adding your custom token. Eg. CustomerPropertyTokenMap.cs
• Replace the recipients/recipientPropertyTokenMap element in App_Config\Sitecore\EmailExperience\Sitecore.EmailExperience.Core.config file with your custom token map.
