Use Placeholders in your Message Templates, such as the recipient’s name and the sender’s details, which get automatically filled out when you insert your Message Template into an email.
Please note: Mailbutler's Placeholders take information from various sources. Your email client, if you've sent an email to the person before, or the Mailbutler Contacts feature. Your own information comes from your Mailbutler profile information.
