Personalize your newsletters with first name and other shortcodes

You can personalize your email blasts, automated emails and newsletters by including the first and/or last name of your subscribers.

To do this, click into the text editor of your email and then look for the icon in the screenshot below (looks like 3 people). 

This then gives you a few shortcode options to select from:

Click the one you want (eg First Name) and it should bring in the following:
Hi [subscriber:firstname | default:reader]. 

In the example above, it will show Hi reader if you don't have their first name on record. You could change this to Hi there or similar to suit your style.
