I think I already know the answer to my question based on your reply, Steve the Techie, to marc33, but I'm going to ask anyway just in case I'm wrong. :)

In the "Send Basic Email" editor, the {{firstname}} variable is not listed under the editor: Does that mean that the {{firstname}} variable will not work in "Send Basic Email" editor? I'm trying to send a "personal" message to our club guests.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Michele

basic email does not have that feature. It is not an email client or email list.

Thank you,

{{firstname}} is defined in the code... it should work. :thumbsup:

Also, it is listed under the editor, if you click the More link.

Thank you, both. I'm grateful for your help. Curiously, the "more" link does not appear for me (screenshot attached).

Also, I'm sorry that I was not clear that I am trying to send to the list of my clubs "Guests" (guests-######@toastmastersclubs.org). I see now that the guests list may not have values for {{firstname}}.

Good question! I've been using Firefox, but I just tried Safari and Chrome, and the editor window looks the same. Thank you!

The More link shows up for me just fine in Chrome when I access it via your website. :?

I reached out to guests today from the "Club E-mail Addresses" menu item and pop-up window and used the {{firstname}} variable. Judging by the reply I received from one of our guests, the variable was not replaced. See attached.

Did I get the syntax wrong?

I hope this is helpful.
