Inserting MailMerge Fields for Contacts in the Communication Wizard Message Area
These contact fields are available for use in MailMerge documents:
first_name middle_initial last_name suffix job_title address_1 address_2 address_3 address_4 city state zip country business_phone mobile_phone email fax
If you are creating a simple email without a template, type the text of your message into the Message field in the Communication Wizard. When you reach a point where you want to insert a MailMerge field, follow these steps:
- Select a field in the Merge Field dropdown. A variable representing this selection is placed on the clipboard.
- Place the cursor in the Message box.
- Press Ctrl + V to insert the variable at the cursor location.
- Continue composing the message.
- When the communication is sent, all variables you placed are replaced with the appropriate data.
EXAMPLE: You are sending an email to two prospects, Joe and Jane, and you
want to personalize the message. Select First Name in the
Merge Field dropdown, then
paste the variable into the message opening. The message now begins, "Dear
{@FirstName}". When the message is sent, the variable is replaced and the
messages read, "Dear Joe" and "Dear Jane."
