When I preview an email, can I see it with my merged data in it?
When you're working with an email, you're probably curious as to what it looks like as you create so you can address issues before they get cumbersome.

  • While previewing an email (done by hovering over Actions in Emails and clicking Preview), click Show Live Data in the upper left hand corner of the page. The email will then populate with that merged information (custom fields, snippets and RSS feeds) and you can even scroll through to see every user if you'd like, just like a traditional paper mail merge.
  • You can even switch between the lists that meet the criteria of your newsletter, which will show in the drop down menu in this Live Data screen (Lists To Use). Simply select the list for the data you wish to preview and then click the 'Next' and 'Prev' links to cycle through your data.
