How would I send a thank you message to a husband and wife/couple?

Ben Leach

We recently had a major fundraising event and would like to send personalized emails to couples who attended. Not everyone attended as a couple but many did. We tend to have only one email address for a couple. Right now, I use the [[S1:first_name]] identification for the personalized emails. Is there a way to reliably add a second name to the email?

Assuming you have the Significant Other fields complete in the constituent record:



[[S1:so_first_name]]



So a conditional for that would be



[[?x[[S1:so_first_name]]x::xx

::

<!--// No significant Other //-->

::

and [[S1:so_first_name]]

]]

I need to pull some field on a constituent profile using an S-tag, is there any generic syntax for this?

Any constituent field can be pulled via the S1 tag. That means any field that you can see on the constituent's main profile page can be used. The syntax will be:



[[S1:field_column_name]]



where field_column_name is the name of the column header corresponding to that field in reports. This is usually an abbreviated version of the full name in all lowercase with no spaces. Here are some examples of the S1 tag:



[[S1:cons_id]]

[[S1:last_name]]

[[S1:last_trans_date]]





Tip: I think it's easier to look at the source code of a cons record page and check the field name in question.
