hai, i am trying to send the mails with default starting text as "dear someone" taking the name from the name of the email addressse for ex: "dear vishnu" where email address is vishnusumanth@something.com i want this to integrate with all the groups or for particular group your help will be highly appreciated
Assuming you have captured the First Name of the subscribers in your database, this is an easy task. When you compose the outgoing message, click on the "Personalize" drop-down menu and choose the "Insert First Name Field". Go through the same process for any other fields that you have in your database.
Tip - set up several email aliases for yourself, create a test group and subscribe the various alias addresses to them. Then compose an email using the variable fields and send the email to the test group to see how it looks and performs.
Then no first name will be put into the database. However you can choose to use %EMAIL_USER_NAME% as the default for %FIRST_NAME% so that the part before @ is used when no first name is available.
Personally i don't recommend that, because with an address like:
MLK has no good way to correctly guess that the first name should be "Johnnie"
- Also, don't forget that you can use the Preview button on the message sending toolbar to see what values MLK will substitute for any personalization fields you use in your message.
