# Merge tags

A merge tag contains unique user data inserted to the email that help you customize your email campaigns more efficiently when sending it. Herewith, tags are substituted by the addressee's relevant data such as their name, email, postal address, etc.

The list of merge tags available in eWizard Editor is determined by the target system selected on the email creation step. If you need other merge tags in the list, please contact your administrator.

# Merge tags dependencies

The available set of merge tags depends on the following prerequisites:

  1. Configuration made by the administrator.

Contact your administrator to receive the up-to-date list of merge tags that must be set up for each target system individually in your email service.

  1. Target system.

Merge tags ensure the correct behavior of the email in the target system that you specify when creating the email. The choice of the target system indicates the set of merge tags in your future email.

# Applying merge tags

To add a merge tag to the email, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Properties tab on the tools panel.

  2. Click the text box to open the WYSIWYG editor.

  3. Select the merge tags from the list or enter them manually:

The merge tag is inserted in the text format on the layout and can be edited with WYSIWYG.

For proper operation: follow the correct syntax of the target system.

  1. Save changes.

When your email with merge tags is being sent, the target system substitutes them with the corresponding values.

Beware that when you publish the email to a different target system (not the one selected on the email creation step), the substitution of merge tags with their values can't be applied.

For emails targeted to Salesforce Marketing Cloud: you can enter manually any required parameter (product, language, country, or others) to the merge tag. As a result, the email link in the target system contains the values you added to the merge tag.
