If I recall correctly, there were more INSERT codes available than are listed in the FAQ for our use. Could you document them here (or there)?

Specifically I’d like to know a few things:

  • What happens if the value is empty? Any way for us to avoid the awkward Hello(space), when the value is blank?
  • We’d like to keep our replies generic and sign our display name or something similar automatically to whomever responds to the email like INSERT_SENDEr and I think I remember something like this existing

I love the new forums – no more fifty tries to sign in or post AND you created a “personal” account step – sweet! I think you’ll be seeing our money soon!

Hi Brian,

Glad to see you on our new forums! I’m really glad to have something that actually shows me my post when I put it up as well. :-) To answer your questions:

What happens of a value is empty?

Right now it just leaves the field blank so:

Dear RECIPIENT_FIRST,

would turn up:

Dear ,

We might be able to do something about this in the future, but right now that’s what we have. My suggestion would be to do something clever like:

Hello RECIPIENT_FIRST

This will look right no matter what.

We’d like to keep our replies generic and sign our display name or something similar automatically to whomever responds to the email

You sure can do this. Use SENDER_FIRST and SENDER_LAST

Thanks for writing in!
