About Merge tags

Merge tags are placeholders that you can use in emails and web pages to dynamically insert personalized information, such as a recipient's name or any other field, into text.

They are especially useful in confirmation pages and emails, for the participants to know all the data entered was successfully saved, and for them to easily retrieve this information later.

Here's how you can use them:

Choose the type of information you want to include, such as a participant's or contact's first name, last name, etc.
Insert the corresponding merge tag into your message or form, in the format of [[participant.first_name]], or [[participant.email]] (for example)
The merge tag will be automatically replaced with the actual information when the message or form is sent or submitted.

For example, if you want to include a subscriber's first name in a welcome email, you would insert the merge tag [[participant.first_name]] in the email, and the tag would be automatically replaced with the actual first name of each subscriber when the email is sent.
