Placeholder user.firstName in Mass E-Mail

[tobias]

Folks,

We tried to use the placeholder

{User.firstName}

in a mass e-mail campaign. However, this placeholder is not being filled (i.e., replaced with "").

One guess would be that the user sending the mass e-mail is the system, not the logged user.

That said, how can we still use the firstName of the user assigned to the mass e-mail campaign?

NB: We've also tried to use

{Campaign.assignedUser}

which didn't work either.

Thanks for your help,

Tobias

Hi Tobias,

I think it's not implemented. User is not defined for Mass Emails.

Are there plans to add this? Is there a list of variables that are not implemented in mass emails so we dont have to guess and test them all?

and how about the user signature showing up on the bottom of mass emails?

The only short codes which work in a mass email are

{optOutUrl} – URL for an unsubsbribe link};

{optOutLink} – an unsubscribe link.

Maybe it would be great to implement the same features from PDF Template on Email template....
