How to make your cards and gifts more personal and save time using merge fields that will automatically insert your recipients first name, last name, company name and more. When editing the text in a text box you can type in the merge field you want to use, or you can click the merge fields button in the top right of the editor for a list of current merge fields. Make sure to use the correct notation with double SQUARE brackets and no spaces.
For example: If you want to say "Hello John," You would type in a text box - Hello [[firstname]], this will insert the recipients first name. Merge fields MUST be typed exactly as they are below in order for them to work properly. Once you have completed and saved your project always check that your merge fields are set up correctly.
Important: You can verify this by going to your saved projects and click on "options" to the right of the project, select "Verify Merge Fields". The system will list any merge fields it is detecting. If you do not see your merge field then it is not set up correctly and you will need to edit your project to fix it.
