Extra Fields Tags in Emails

    For the extra fields that we create, how can we use tags that will display this data in newsletters?

    For example, I have created an extra field called “URL” to collect and store subscribers’ website addresses. However, using {url} in a newsletter will not populate the subscriber’s web address in the newsletter.

    I have not found any definitive statement in this forum nor in the documentation on whether tags for extra fields can be used in newsletters.

    Hi, you should use the {profile_N} tag, where N is the profile number as configured on subscription form fields.

    Roberto, thank you for responding.

    I’d prefer to personalize the newsletter with the subscriber’s web address rather than display their profile number. The profile number won’t mean anything to them. Is it possible to display the URL that was collected in the extra field?

    Hi, sorry but I don’t understand the question. We know the profile number doesn’t mean anything to them, that’s while the plugin rewrites them with the user-specific values, so if the extra field #2 contains an URL, the message will contain the URL string.

    I understand. I didn’t realize the “N” represented the line number of the profile field. Thank you so much for clarifying this.
