Email merge fields

What is an email merge field?

A merge field connects data from a data source to your email template. It is a way to personalize your order emails with information from the data source.

Note:
A Merge Field is a field that you input into an email template that auto-fills value automatically when generating an email for a contact or client.

If the merge field does not apply to the specific email template, it will be removed, but the other text will remain. This is how incomplete or broken automated emails occur.
