PastorsLine vs MailChimp Merge Fields/Tags for Personalization

What’s in a name? Well, a lot if you are talking about merge data for personalization.

In PastorsLine, we call them ‘merge fields’. If you want to include your contact’s first name, you would type: [First Name].

In MailChimp, these same data fields are called ‘merge tags’. To include a contact’s first name, you would type: *|FNAME|*

Here is a complete list of the MailChimp merge tags. 

So, even though PastorsLine is syncing with MailChimp and pushing data back to it, you still need to use the correct format for the app you are working within.
