Bruce23	Posted - Sep 18 2013 : 07:28:35 Hi Nigel Can you provide me with the code that would insert the first name into an email or if there is no first name then simply the word Subscriber. So they email would look like this: Dear Bill or if there is no first name then Dear Subscriber I have attempted this a few times and cannot get it to work. Thanks.

xequte	Posted - Nov 27 2013 : 20:47:05 Hi Bruce I cannot see why that should fail. Are you saying that in all cases it only replies with "Hi Subscriber"? What method do you use to generate the message? I.e. is it in response to MLK processing a web form message? Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com

Bruce23	Posted - Nov 21 2013 : 19:01:27 I am using 12.04R and yes it is set to True for personalization. I have the business edition
xequte	Posted - Nov 21 2013 : 18:02:03 Hi What version are you using? Under File > Options, Database, Advanced Options, "Extra Advanced Options," what is your setting for "Always Read Personalization fields"? Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com
Bruce23	Posted - Nov 21 2013 : 10:40:57 Nigel I cannot seem to get this to work when sending back double opt in confirmation. What I want is for the emails to confirm they want to join to be more personal so they say; Dear Fred Thank you for requesting to join. Please confirm by replying....... Here is the code Dear %CONDITION:FirstName<>NOTHING%%FirstName%%CONDITION:ELSE%Subscriber%CONDITION:END% The code works when sending email messages but I cannot get it to work for sending out the double opt in confirmation requests. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.
Bruce23	Posted - Sep 24 2013 : 06:55:59 Thanks Nigel!
xequte	Posted - Sep 18 2013 : 23:16:31 Hi Bruce The easiest way to do it is to click options in the Personalize box (of the message sending toolbar). There you can specify Subscriber as a default value for FirstName. The other option is to do it with conditional text: Dear %CONDITION:FirstName<>NOTHING% %FirstName% %CONDITION:ELSE% Subscriber %CONDITION:END% Note: I have added linebreaks to make it more readable. You would insert it as, Dear %CONDITION:FirstName<>NOTHING%%FirstName%%CONDITION:ELSE%Subscriber%CONDITION:END% Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com
