Can I insert field information from each record (i.e. first_name) to personalize the message?
Yes, you just need to know the name of your fields (not the label, but the name, for example “firstname,” or “email,” as they are listed when you go into the field edit page from the database page). In your message you can then say something like “Dear ,” etc. Although it’s a little hidden, there is a link that will show you all possible macros for a given database: go to the Mailings area, the second tip in the orange “Tips” box has a link to “special field tags.” That link brings up a general Help window, you can scroll down to the Messages paragraph, which should list your field options.
