Using merge fields allows you to add personalized and dynamic content to your SmartrMail emails. The information for merge fields is imported from data in your email lists and e-commerce store.
You can add merge fields to the text in your emails through our text editor.
The text editor will add the tags in the correct format, and ask you to add a fallback.
However you can also add the tags manually. Your text will look something like this:
Hi {{ name | fallback: 'there' }}
Because you bought {{ last_product_purchased | fallback: 'something you love' }}, I think you'll like these products.
Some tags will only be available in certain emails or fields. Here is a list of all the merge tags available to you:

If you have the wholesale price set to default you can use this tag to apply the after-tax price on the product (use {price} to ignore this rate and show the default price). For use in the button field only. Learn more about tax rates in SmartrMail here.
Adding Fallbacks
If a merge field you include has no value for the subscriber you sent to it will be left blank. For example if you don't have the subscriber name:
Hey {{name}}! = Hey !.
However you can add a fallback to any tag. So if the value is blank and you use the tag:
Hey {{ name | fallback: 'there' }} = Hey there!
Using Merge Tags in Custom HTML Blocks and the Custom HTML Editor
The tags above are all for use within our default editor. If you're coding your own HTML emails. You'll need to use a different set of tags.
Notes:
When you use the {{first_product}} tag in a test email, the recommended product included in the title may not be in the email itself - this does not happen during the real campaign.
