When creating an email it is possible to insert merge tags that will personalize each email with certain information pulled from member accounts.
Simply type your merge tags into the body of an email using the format specified. Type the merge tags using the following format: *|tag|*
Fields that are available to merge are:
Field | Merge Tag |
First Name | *|FNAME|* |
Last Name | *|LNAME|* |
Nickname | *|NICKNAME|* |
User Role | *|USER_ROLE|* |
Payment Status | *|PAY_STATUS|* |
Active Status | *|STATUS|* |
Account Type | *|ACCT_TYPE|* |
Account ID | *|ACCT_ID|* |
Legacy Account ID | *|LEGACYID|* |

Billing Contact | *|BILLING|* |
Account Login | *|LOGIN|* |
Member Type | *|MTYPE|* |
Acct Tag: Board Member | *|BOARD_MEMB|* |
Do not: Do not use special symbols (such as #,$,%, etc.) when naming your tags, Mailchimp cannot process special tags. In addition merge tag only us the first 10 letters to establish the tag being sent to Mailchimp
As such the tags of "2023 Swim Team" and "2023 Swim Team Coaches" look like duplicates to the system interface and will not pass them (see below). To correct, change the name so that the 1st 10 letter are unique.
