Using the Salutation Tool

The HTML editor allows different salutation fields to be added whether the data is available or empty. Using an example, if you store the contacts First Name in the system then you can use the salutation tool to retrieve this data. You can then enter some default text to show if the contact has no first name, "Dear Customer" perhaps.
