You can use mail-merge tags to customize your outgoing messages. Mail-merge tags are special blocks of text (like [first name]
or [email address]
) that are replaced by values from your address list when the message is sent.
Direct Mail supports a variety of mail-merge tags for use in your messages. For example, you can use [first name]
, [last name]
, [full name]
— these tags are replaced by values from the Name column of your address list — or tags like [Custom 1]
, [Custom 2]
, etc. The "custom" mail-merge tags are replaced by values from the Custom columns in your address list. To show these custom columns, choose Addresses > Show Address Table Columns.
You can use mail-merge tags in the subject, headers, and body of your message.
Position the cursor where you want to insert the tag.
