Merge data is context-specific. This means merge tags are only designed to work in certain emails. Contexts are detailed below.

Merge tags can be used in email bodies, subject lines, button links, and SMS messages.

In most cases, merge data in a test email will use a default supporter with example data.

Merge tags are not supported in Ticket Order emails at this time.
