Merge Tags are fields where your guest information is automatically populated by our system and display between @@ symbols. Personalization improves the perception of guests and increases the chance of response. You can use merge tags on subject lines or the body text of Invitations, Reminders and Thank you Emails.
Example:
Dear @@Title@@ @@Last Name@@
becomes
"Dear Mr. Smith"
If you select these merge tags to be included in your survey invite and thank you, be sure to provide this information in the guest list upload. Otherwise, the field will be blank. If you do not intend to provide these fields, we recommend you remove the Merge Tag and replace it with something generic e.g. “Dear Valued Guest”.
fallback values cannot be added to subject line or body

- Place your mouse cursor where you want to insert the merge tag and click on the name of the merge tag. You will see the name of the merge tag between two pairs of "at" signs.
