6. Use Merge Fields to Personalise the Email
Merge fields are shortcuts which can automatically insert dynamic fields from a particular customers card which allows you to have generic email templates that are very personal. For example anywhere that you place this merge field {NAME} in any email template the unique customers name will be inserted when the email is sent.
7. Write the Content of Your Email (Keep It Personal)
8. Add Your Attachments
Here you can add any files/forms/images etc. that you may require the customer to see or complete. These attachments will be included whenever this particular template is sent.
