Personalizing a subject line with a contact's name or other information collected in a contact field can increase engagement with your communications.
You can insert personalization tags in the subject line of any campaign or automation email you create. When the email is sent to a contact, that tag will be replaced by a value specific to the recipient.
For example, if you wanted to insert a contact's first name in a subject line, you would use the following personalization tag:
%FIRSTNAME%
When a contact receives your email, they will see their own name populated.
