Hi,
Has anyone been able to use "custom" merge tags in the new email designer ?
There's the base list (mainly focused on the manager, which is not very useful for outbound marketing emails....) :
But when I try to add other types of merge tags, I only get a non-editable "sample merge tag": 
Anyone managed to make it work (tried both on 8.2.2 and 8.2.3 demo) ?

Answer not given here, but apparently inserting "manually" the tags in the text in the same format as the custom macros in Classic UI should work. I will test and let everyone here know if it works as a workaround until it is natively added.
Hello!
The new designer does not yet have the ability to display information with advanced macros as it was in the old designer (first name, etc.).
We are still working on advanced macros implementation in the new email template builder, we believe that this option will be available in the near future.
Please note that the old designer is available for use and you can work with it.
Regards,
Anton
