Merge tags
Merge tags in emails act as placeholders that get replaced with actual values when the email is sent. They can be specific to the recipient (like first name, email, or address) or apply system-wide (such as today’s date or the sender’s name).
You can insert merge tags either in the workspace settings or directly within the builder’s stage.
