How to add merge field to notification

This is probably super easy but I can’t figure it out! I just want my notification to say Dear (first name). What is the tag I use for that? I tried {first_name} but that doesn’t work. Thank you!

Hi Julie. You can use the Merge Tag Tool to find the correct merge tag to insert into your message. You don’t have to guess at it. The merge tag tool looks like this when you are editing the Notification:

It works like this to insert the correct merge tags where you want to use them (20 second screencast):

You will find that merge tag tool in lots of different places, like your confirmations, notifications and feeds. If you have any other questions please let us know.

Thank you! It looks like the merge tag is grayed out for me.

If you click on it, does it work?

No, I tried that and it still doesn’t work?
