Using merge fields in your email templates allows you to personalize the content of your email for each recipient. In Mailchimp, each merge field corresponds to a unique merge tag, which looks like a snippet of text wrapped in special characters: \*|EXAMPLE|\*. When you insert a merge tag into your email, Mailchimp replaces the tag with the content stored in the corresponding merge field. ### How it works Your Alpine database automatically syncs the following fields to your Mailchimp Merge Tags list: - \[Alpine\] Last Donation Amount - \[Alpine\] Last Donation At - \[Alpine\] This Calendar Year Transaction Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] Past Calendar Year Transaction Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] Last Donation Amount Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] This Calendar Year Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\]Past Calendar Year Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] This July June Fiscal Year Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] Past July June Fiscal Year Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] This Calendar Year Linked Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] Past Calendar Year Linked Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] This July June Fiscal Year Linked Donation Total Tax Deductible - \[Alpine\] Past July June Fiscal Year Linked Donation Total Tax Deductible   You can insert merge fields into your tax letter emails by clicking the **Merge Tags** drop-down.  ![Mailchimp\_Tutorial\_Merge\_Tags\_Outline](https://kbhelp.humanitru.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Process%20Documentation%20Screenshots/Mailchimp_Tutorial_Merge_Tags_Outline.png?width=686&height=423&name=Mailchimp_Tutorial_Merge_Tags_Outline.png)     -
