Personalize legacy email templates with merge fields

Merge Fields are used as placeholders in an email for content that will be personalized for each recipient. The merge fields pull information from individual contact records or from the Merge Field Defaults (when the field in the Person Record is blank). In the example below, the Merge Fields are replaced with a person's first name, their appointment date, and the signature of the User who sent the email from Max Classic.

Example:

1. Go to the email template you want to personalize in the template library (Marketing > Templates)
   
    
2. From within the email template builder, click on the Insert tab
   
    
3. Click on the Merge button to open the merge fields. The first list shows merge field categories. Click on a category name to view the merge fields available.
   
    
4. After you open the merge field list, click into the email body select a position for the merge field, then click on the merge field name (e.g. Favorite Color) to insert it in the email.
   
    
5. The Merge Field should now be inserted into the email wherever you placed your cursor.
   
    
6. Repeat this process to add more merge fields.
    
7. Save your changes, close the builder
   
   
    
8.  Save the template as well.
