How do I personalize an email?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently trying to personalize an email to include "Hello (insert lead's first name),". However when I sent a test email to my address, my first name was not inserted. Am I missing something?

I inserted the following token:

{{lead.First Name:default=edit me}

When you send the test email, choose a test list with your info, so the tokens will have something to pick up.

Make sure you include a default phrase in the Edit Me portion in case you don't have complete first name information in your database.

Tokens do not resolve when sending test emails. Try runnning yourself through a campaign or a single flow action.
