How do I add merge fields to an email? For example, how do I add the attendee’s first name to the email they receive when they register?

Solution:

You can use merge fields to insert this information into an email. Merge fields are codes that instruct our system to go to the database and pull various fields from an attendee record and insert them into an email. You can insert personal information (attendee’s name, address, etc.), event info (event location, contact information, etc.), and other info such as a link to their complete registration record.

To insert merge field in your email:

1. Click with your cursor in the position where you want to insert that information. In this example, click after the word “Dear ” to insert the attendee’s first name.
2. On the toolbar above the email content box, click the arrow next to the Personal Merge and select First Name. The code that is inserted in the email (/*Merge: FirstName*/) will insert the first name of this registrant in the email.
3. Save your changes when done

Additional Information:

None.
