[Name] personalisation tag in campaign comes through as [Name]

edited September 2014 in Troubleshooting

Hi,

I'm just getting to grips with Sendy. It's awesome, but my first few tests haven't been completely successful.

When using [Name] in a campaign, with the name and email defined in the list, the email just reflects "Dear [Name]" although the [Email] tag did get converted correctly.

I'm using the latest version, 1.1.9.4

AIs there any easy way to debug it?

Thanks

Matt.

  • Hi,

    You're using the personalization tag incorrectly. It should be [Name,fallback=].

    For example:

    Hi [Name,fallback=there], how are you?

  • Doh, thanks Ben. It wasn't obvious that it had to be in this format rather than just [Name]

    Thank you.

    You're welcome. The full lists of personalization tags examples can be found at the bottom of the page when you create or edit a campaign.

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Ben
