New user with a simple question about personalisation

I’ve scoured the manual and searched this forum but I can not find anywhere how you personalise / personalize a mailshot.

Previous packages I’ve used allow input of Dear [firstname] to add the firstname or any other field that’s saved with the record.

How is this achieved with phpList

Thank you in anticipation

Mike

Create your subscribe page, set a new attribute for FirstName for example, and then use that within your mailshot./campaign as Dear [FirstName],

Hello Dragonrider
I imported my old mailing lists and it seems to have created attributes “firstname”, “lastname”, “tel” and “role” so I can enter [firstname], [lastname], [tel] and/or [role] into any message I create and it will pull them into the message?
Regards
Mike

Providing your existing subscribers have these values set, they should appear. If they are blank, then phpList cannot fill them.
